Pros

Great place to land coming out of college as an engineer. I was surrounded by strong technical mentors and able to get up to the speed of industry without regularly working ridiculous hours. Truly appreciate the culture of work life balance

Cons

I was looking for opportunities to work hard and get ahead. I wanted to see my efforts and contributions reflected directly in my career trajectory and I felt that I wasn't going to do significantly better in terms of learning or making advancements by working super hard. I also wanted to diversify my skill set instead of just focusing on engineering and that was hard to do in the environment.

Pros

Microsoft has great pay and awesome benefits. Plenty of opportunities to move around within the company when it is time to try something new.

Cons

Sometimes it seems there is a lot of bureaucracy and questionable decisions made by upper management depending on the organization
