Pros

innovative, diverse, creative, humble, passionate, very self critical, undergoing a huge transformation, with a new excellent new culture and tremendous leader. Microsoft is doing the right thing both for the customers and the company, to a leaner, smarter, agile customer obsessed.

Cons

Middle management was hired to drive stacked ranking. Going to a growth mindset with those people will be complicated. Can they change ? can they promote the best talents for the new microsoft vs resist to survive. What Microsoft is doing is excellent as a shareholder ;) will it be good for the engaged individual contributor ... and let's be clear : as a sales guy, it sucks. To be happy in Microsoft, it's important to think first about how your job is interesting, has impact, and your family before thinking about money. It's a company full of underpaid very talented people.

Many : strong emphasis on work/life balance, challenging projects, great teams

Cons

A bit of politics, sometimes interal moves are already "closed" when they go open for internal publication...
