Pros

- Lots of different projects you can work on. - Stability.

Cons

- Lots of Bureaucracy. - The way they pay and reward employees is similar to a communist system. Your level determines your pay grade regardless of the type of work you do. You could work 60+ hours a week (like me) on a highly technical project and still get paid as much as the guy working 30 hours a week (lots of them). - They company is to large and old. A lot of the upper management is stuck in old ways and it really holds the company back. Its seems some of that may change with Satya, but I wouldn't expect it to happen to fast. - Many people have titles they do not deserve, leading to bad assumptions about what person can do.
