Not at all what it says on the tin
Pros: The building with its different restaurants, gym etc. is pretty cool and most of my colleagues were too.
Cons: With the mission of Satya Nadella, the company see itself as a sort of benefactor now and in training you get the impression that everything evolves around their employees. When you hit the floor, you soon realize that the "old" Microsoft is still very much alive, because it's not about inclusion and empowerment anymore, but about processes, micromanagement, threatening, exclusion, discrimination, politics and unnecessary pressure day in day out. There are better teams and there are worse teams though. It's a bit like playing the lottery which manager you get.
