Microsoft  Decent Place to work
Pros: Good work life balance
Decent pay and amenities
Gives employees chance to move to a team of their liking, even though it takes quite some time.
Cons: When hiring someone, not bothered about what he has done previously or is good at. Just want him to do the work offered. Considering that MS has a very wide portfolio, it is possible to find the best for a recruit easily.

Lacks transparency in performance reviews. I got my review by 5pm on the last day for the manager to give reviews. And then whatever opinion I had, there was no time to incorporate any changes.
