Pros

-Benefits -Discounts and Perks -Shuttles and Connector bus service

Cons

-Employees not 'first' as they once were. -Motivational events are MUCH smaller than they used to be if held at all. -Too many egos makes an annoying work environment. -Going toward open offices. Worse than cubicles. -Reviews tend to rank employees against one another which creates a culture of non-collaboration. -Expectations have risen so high (since Satya took over) that only the 'heroes' that work 70 hours a week and on vacation actually have a chance of meeting them.

Pros

Alright pay, benefits and worktimes

Cons

Directionless ship, the entire company seems to be run by middle managers who don't know what they're doing - leading to separate divisions doing contradictory things. UI is designed in powerpoint, the codebase is ancient and nobody understands it, useless features get requested and bugs never get fixed
