The bright and darker side of Microsoft
Pros: Great package and extremely rich learning experience with great challenges. 
You will be surrounded by outstanding individuals & be able to bring your own value add. Microsoft pays also a lot of attention to diversity in workplace which is a good thing in my opinion. Microsoft brand has also become an excellent brand over the course of the years with new vision set my top management. (Satya Nadella)
Cons: Life/Work balance is harsh when working as Microsoft front-line seller.
Targets are set top/down & KPIs are very challenging but achievable if you put massive energy into it.
Even if you are hired for a permanent job, you know that before end of each fiscal year you might lose your job even though you were highly successful. 
In a nutshell, Microsoft is already too much piloted through Machine Learning KPI and pay too less attention to each human contribution.
