Good place to work
Pros: The company mission is excellent -  empower people to do great things. Microsoft cares about employee personal and professional growth, there's training and mentoring to achieve those goals. Transparency and collaboration result in lower stress levels. Freedom to explore, tinker and innovate provide an ideal environment to grow and learn.
Cons: Downsides of working outside of the corporate head office limits progression eventually. Work life balance can be an issue at times.  Meeting at night when working with Seattle employees
