Pros

> Free coffee in the mornings > The people here are relatively nice on the surface, i.e. they hide their evil deep inside their shallow souls > You get to help Microsoft maintain its nasty monopoly on the desktop computers and push its buggy spyware to its consumers

Cons

> A deep despair associated with taking more from society than you are putting > Not being able to sleep at night > Constant feelings that your work and career are meaningless > Occassional desire to commit suicide

Pros

Good benefits - probably the best in the area Given the wide product range, you have the choice to work in a wide variety of areas. Lots of senior people. Family friendly.

Cons

Some teams are more interested in expanding their scope rather than thinking whats best for the consumer. Hard to switch teams.
