Significant growth opportunities around every corner
Pros: Microsoft provides great opportunities across a diverse set of businesses and is a great place to develop professionally. There is a strong sense of values in the organization and a huge emphasis on employee feedback and creating a positive working environment. There are many resources available to employees to assist them to succeed both professionally and personally.
Cons: Work/life balance is a challenge in many areas of the organization. While it is up to the individual to own that as much as they can, there is not consistent positive reinforcement about the importance of vacations and time away from work from leadership in the organization.
