Great place to work, choice of team is important though
Pros: - You really get the sense that the senior management cares about the well being of its staff
- Diversity and Inclusion are taken very seriously here
- Work life balance is excellent
- Lots of encouragement to stretch yourself and try new things. A great place to learn new technology and take on a new career direction.
- Internal mobility is good. A lot of people move around including internationally.
Cons: - it can get very political, especially in the orbit of "corp" ie Redmond
- still some old school managers that haven't embraced the new Satya era ethos and treat their team badly. Bad managers can really affect your enjoyment of this role
- role priorities and structures change frequently, which can be confusing at times
