      Pros

      Positive environment, everyone's energetic and dedicated to their work. Amazing catered lunch everyday, good benefits, educative training sessions, and lots of other perks. Xamarin knows how to keep their employees happy.

      Cons

      Not really a con, but I think every new hire should be personally introduced to everyone in the office. It's been a few weeks since I started working and I still feel I haven't met 1/3rd of the employees. One possible reason is that the company is growing extremely fast and there are new hires coming in almost every week.

      Thank you for the feedback and great suggestion re: new hire introductions! We'll work on getting something organized so everyone has a chance to meet in person.

      Pros

      Individual office, casual dress (I wear jeans and sneakers). Great time off - 3 weeks of vacation for new employees plus two weeks of sick time and two floating holidays, along with paid holidays off.

      Cons

      tied to email. Frustrating to take time off, but feel you have to monitor your email or you are buried in it when you return.

      Pros

      Great benefits, security, but experience 100 percent dependent on your manager and workgroup. There is no such thing as One Microsoft from a personal experience perspective. If you don't like your group, move. It's a well resourced company with a lot of smart people and some of the world's most interesting challenges to work on. Good opportunity to work globally and learn a ton about business if in the right role.

      Cons

      Massive change at mid-senior management level right now. Very little direction can make it hard to see big picture at the functional and workgroup level. All old systems seem to be scrapped and tagged "bad" without anything to replace them which can be touch with such a large beast to maneuver, new CEO, lots of new people in charge. Will take another year for changes to net out to really evaluate what it's like as a place to work. Disappointing to see last round of layoffs - lots of great people and not a lot of explanation. Morale at risk in many groups.
