Great Company!
Great culture, brilliant individuals, environment and flexibility in WFH for very early or very late meetings (when supporting globally). I love the people, the energy, being on the bleeding edge of technology as well as growth I've experienced in many roles I've held in the past at Microsoft.
Tenure is no longer valued
When I started at Microsoft in the late 1990's, it was a place that valued experience. By about 15 years later that began to change. More and more employees began to leave as they felt their experience was no longer valued and Microsoft began embracing a workforce model that was much more transitory.
Great company to work for
Great benefits and great company but there was only lateral movement through the company in terms of promotion. I had the opportunity to work for some of the best salespeople in my life and had opportunities to coach underperforming team members about the ABC's of sales
I loved working at Microsoft for the 5 years I did
Microsoft showed me what it means and by example to express a growth mindset. Learn how to quickly ramp on new products and features, solve complex problems and learn the art of how to be a good storyteller.
Besides these soft skills, I leaned the Microsoft Security story both on- Prem and leading into Aure. I could explain this to fellow engineers and C level executives and directors. I was very lucky to have worked with some wonderful people at Micorosft and only moved out of my last position due to 80% travel. Fun at first but with two kids and other family members it began to way on me.

Great place to work.
I had a wonderful experience working here. My manager gave me a lot of flexibility to pursue my intellectual goal. The internship encourages taking new challenges and publish the work. Everyone is very helpful and help to learn new skills.
Good Pay and Benefits, Always Busy
It is always very busy at Microsoft which is good and bad. Wish there were some lulls, but the job is very secure/stable.
Management can be pretty disconnected from what is actually happening at ground level, but they are working to improve it.
The pay, bonus structure, and benefits are nice.

Can be a great place to work
Microsoft can be a great place to work but it's hard to be successful there forever. There is so much churn. You might be working on a project you love today and then tomorrow everything is thrown into the air and before you know it you are working on a project that you just can't get passionate about. And this happens at least every three years or so. But it is absolutely a great place to establish a career and you will get to work with some of the smartest people you will ever meet.
Nice break rooms with free coffee, soda, juice and popcorn and occasionally pizza.
Data Center. Subcontracted in March of 2019. Was supposed to replace RAM modules but their supply chain had issues. We ended up sitting around for a few days getting paid for it. Very nice employee break rooms with Basketball Nets, free coffee, free soda and drinks and popcorn. We ended up securing cat 6 cable with plastic ties. Disappointing that we did not do the RAM installs. Overall not a bad gig.
Hard to find a better place to learn and grow
MS has everything one could want to learn and grow your career. Lots of focus on employee experience. Highly recommend. MS is very engaged in local community and encourages employees to dedicate time to their cause of choice. There are a lot of learning opportunities and many different job disciplines to move to when the time is right.
Great company to work for
Microsoft is a great company to work for. Benefits and WLB is good (depending on your org). Career progression is great for my group, quite a few principal level software devs that are pretty young. Of course, this all depends on what group you work with.
