Pros

It was a paycheck. Period.

Cons

The corporate culture is abominal. MS is the most anti meritocratic house on the Street. If you are in a non revenue cost center, God help you; you're percieved as nothing more that overhead. Management works 24 X 7 to offshore and outsource. Career development and training are non existent. If you don't have a "rabbi", you might as well get your resume on monster.com as your days are numbered.

Pros

Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

Cons

They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
