Contrast in culture
Pros: Overall, Microsoft is a great company that offers a lot of benefits and many opportunities to develop. There is always something new to learn, agility is a mantra and rarely you do same things twice. They promote a great culture of collaboration and, even if it might get confusing at times, it's fun.
Cons: The main con I see is the stakeholder management. In my 10+ years of career in IT, I have not seen such a big contrast between empowering and narrow-minded. Because whatever your role is, you will be exposed to many projects and people, this will constantly follow you. It's disappointing to see people that, despite their seniorship,) are acting shallowly and act dictatorial, refusing to embrace any change or accept other views than their own. These people drag the company down and make others lose motivation.
