Trying to make progress but going about it in the wrong way
Pros: Compensation and benefits; ground level and front line people are amazing. Smart people.
Cons: Microsoft for years has been giving lip service to fair pay and treatment across genders, ethnicity, etc.  This was/is a legitimate and actual problem. 

They have reacted by pushing long time performers who happen to be a part of the gender and ethnicity profile they over-indexed on out of the company. These are good employees and managers who have actually fought for change. I personally know of four ex-peers who have been through this in the past year and one going through it now.
