Good in some parts; slow and political in others
Pros: Some great areas to work. Moving internally is easier than in other companies. When you get a good manager and group, it is a company with great work-life balance and rewarding projects.
Cons: Moved last year into a group full of ex-Amazonians mixing the worst of Amazon with the worst of Microsoft. It is the house of the shenanigans!
Technical competent people are leaving quickly, whereas the incompetent people from Microsoft and the new peers from Amazon are taking over. Only bright spot is that I had a way out quickly. But this practice of hiring failed people from Amazon is really going to kill Microsoft.
