Pros

Company is starting to move in the right direction. Plenty of opportunities to learn and grow, even with non-Microsoft technologies. Old review/reward system is gone(ish) and work environment again exudes an air of opportunities for success as an employee

Cons

Change in culture is still in progress. Still many managers who provide little value but have insulated themselves and aren't going anywhere any time soon.

Pros

Great, smart people to work with who know what they are doing. Everyone seems to have a positive outlook for where the company is headed under Satya. My lead is good, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and protective of people that work under him, and I've heard of similar stories with other leads under my director. The benefits are best in class. Work life balance is pretty high.

Cons

Windows seems like a really slow org of getting things done. I haven't seen it in my org, but there is bureaucracy at higher levels.
