HR Has Weaponized Identity Politics
Pros: Pay is incredible for what people do.  Benefits are outstanding.  Most people are good to work with and very smart.
Cons: HR Has weaponized Inclusiveness and Diversity to mean, "white men please leave".  And there's a heightened culture of victims in waiting.  The statement "everyone has a personal truth" means you can get in trouble for anything.  There are even policies about words and phrases to use that HR wants you to use, but if those preferred words and phrases offend someone you are in trouble.  And there are quiet talks by managers about how the rules are different for white men.  One message is that if a white man sees someone of another category harassing or intimidating someone, they aren't allowed to report.   
If you are of a protected class this doesn't apply and you definitely should work at Microsoft.  You'll be treated fairly.
