CO+I is Toxic
Pros: Pay is good, Microsoft brand is respected, great overall social footprint
Cons: CO+I is a toxic environment. Management allows VPs and GMs to treat each other unprofessionally. Meetings devolve into passive aggressive or outright aggressive scenarios where everything is blame-oriented. Managers micromanage due to fear of getting called out by senior management. Politics are worse than any other company I've been at and, despite all the "diversity" focus, women are treated worse than men once they get there, and women are hired in above their experience level which leads to even more "she was only hired because she is a woman" mentality
