Pros

Good salary Bonus pension perks

Cons

Awful place to work. Dreadful culture. I was not a fit for the role originally but persevered. Its nearly impossible to get roles elsewhere. Toxic from day 1

Pros

I’ll say here what I’ve told colleagues elsewhere and family. “MIcrosoft pays me well for what I do.” The Perks+, the stock options and the 401K contributions were all appreciated.

Cons

Health insurance while decent has a ridiculously high deductible for those outside Redmond. Senior management is clearly politically motivated and practices lip service when it comes to work/life balance and desire for diversity and inclusion. If you are of a particular category (in the US), you’re clearly being weeded out to help the company improve it’s look in the industry. Companies they buy are to either stifle competition, or to extend their beholden approach to anything. Then they rip the company apart very quickly thereafter. AI and automation is the future, all else be damned. They say the encourage lateral moves within, but clearly have their favorites and all others are ignored.

Pros

You work a rotation of 3 days one week, four the next. Benefits are good. Co workers.

Cons

You work a rotation of 3 days one week, four the next. If you’re on the back end shift it NEVER rotates, so you always work Fri-Sat. The DC I&A tech is the most physical job on campus and the least paid even starting entry level. Treated as such as well.
