Good but low salary for testers
Pros: Good technologies, continue learning culture, very good benefits, flexible work hour, casual dress and atmosphere, beautiful Redmond campus, efficiency and automation in everything and processes, private or semi private office.
Cons: low starting salary, very low merit increase for software tester, under the water stock options, very small stock awards that take about 5 years until they are fully vested. small professional growth in term of climbing up the level (ladder). Some test leads were very bad.
