Good and bad things about working for Microsoft
Pros: Work life balance was easy to achieve
Flexibility in hours and location
The company doesn't pretend to be what it is not to it's employees (loyal)
Pay is very competitive
Cons: Not a very social or engaging environment - head down, work through lunch and go home atmosphere
The company does not even pretend to have loyalty to their employees
Management can be horrible or great, it varies. Not sure there is much accountability for being a good manager.
