Overall rating: 4/5
Employment status: former

Despite bad PR, MS remains one of the top tech company
Pros: - Organization full of talented professionals
- Fast paced and willingness to learn and change
- Opportunities to work across very different projects, roles and scope
- Some very innovative products setting new standards for the industry
- Ability to implement new ideas 
- Great resources to drive impact and a truly international company
Cons: - Work-life balance can be challenging. I witnessed a few people burn out yet it really depends on how you manage each situations
- Compensation vs responsibilities. It is not unusual to get the scope and responsibilities of 2 or even 3 professionals would normally get in other companies but the compensation does not follow
- Too focused on hitting quarterly targets versus long term strategy and driving disruptive innovation
- exec in Redmond living in a bubble too far from the market reality across the globe
