Pros

Decent pay, remote, good benefits.

Cons

The "rest and vest" tactic is a myth at this company. This company is near Amazon levels of bad regarding stress and load management.

Work-life balance is a hit or miss, and teams don't treat you as a person.

Advice to Management

Middle management is too entitled and doesn't listen to any feedback. CEO Satya Nadella is doing a bad job with the work culture and is antagonizing employees.
