Jobs in Redmond/Bellevue are great; awesome opportunities. Stay away from Bay Area MSFT.
Pros: Super smart people, driven, and big thinkers. When you're in Redmond where I spent over 10 years, you have great opportunity, collaboration, and camaraderie.
Cons: If you are in a Bay Area Team, everything depends on Redmond from big decisions, to components you depend on. It's difficult and not rewarding to be so tied to redmond and not have the autonomy to innovate.
