Great Experience at Microsoft
Pros: People, benefits, location. Hard problems, great scope and scale, limitless budget. It was easy to get traction in teams when you had good ideas and plans to execute. Working across groups can be a challenge but I found people to be very focused on the common goals and overall easy to work with.
Cons: Benefits have been trimmed recently, work-life balance can be tough. Coordinating cross-group can be a challenge
