Transformation in a legacy culture of fear and aggression
Pros: Family benefits are really great.  Good pay, exciting work opportunities.  Tons of
opportunity for internal mobility and lots of flexibility to move in your career.
Cons: The politics are absolutely horrendous.  People are extremely aggressive, will stab you in the back, behave like a "mean girls" club (both men and women), and you really can't trust anyone.  There's a new vs old culture dynamic and it's an extremely cut throat environment where people feel the need to prove how they are  better than you.  Everyone is a generalist but believe they are smarter than anyone who actually has the depth of expertise.  Microsoft is a place where you want to love it but it's an ugly culture with ugly work behaviors.
