I've never really understood why anyone would want to work there, unless it's really about selling your soul for the pay. They have been known to be a terrible employer from at least the early 1990s, where people famously had cots in their offices and would only go home a couple times a month before releases.
For the money. From 1986 to 2003, there were 9 stock splits and MS handed out stock options to almost all employees. Many employees who started there in the early 90s are now multimillionaires.
I doubt that it’s worth the loss of your soul for most people, but monkey want shiny is enough for many.
