Good company with good pay and benefits
Pros: Overall it is good to be part of Microsoft. They pay well, benefits are good. Bonus and stock options are also good.
Cons: Responsibility expectation is huge. Recently, they removed the no-cast medical benefits which make all of employees likely take a big cut in their take home salary. 401K match is only 50% where most of the big companies match 100%. Work-balance is always hard to maintain.
