Pros

Generally great people, many willing to help out, more efforts on D&I as of late.

Cons

Terrible integration between MS and Solium, leadership is lacking and extremely tone deaf, lack of clarity on strategy and how to get there, management leads you to believe performance will be reflected in compensation which could not be further from the truth. The firm can have one of its best years and you could be a great employee and your total compensation will be flat or down! Perhaps try awarding your employees with MS equity vs nothing, especially if you are trying to be a leader in equity compensation. How can you be a leader and steer industry change if you yourself cannot even provide that to your own employees. Marcos is not a strong leader, lead a clunky and rather disjointed integration at best and makes minimal to no effort to get to know employees outside his directs or clear favorites.

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!
