Pros

If you have a family, Microsoft benefits are best in class, for health insurance and 401k matching among other reasons.

Cons

The Dynamics org has tone-deaf management that no one trusts due to their frequency of allowing retaliation to happen against their employees. In particular, the location of South Bellevue is poor, especially for lateral moves, as any sort of networking happens on their main Redmond campus.

Pros

Good wlb - rarely do teams require you to work more than 40 hours. Many people reportedly work < 30 hours Interesting work - All the interesting teams: Azure, Windows, XBOX, Office, and many more

Cons

The pay is significantly less than that of other tech giants - Google, Amazon, Facebook, Netflix, even Linkedin, which is owned by Microsoft. As a result, much of the top talent leaves to competitors
