      Great pay and benefits, work has impact, but you can be bogged down by process frequently.

      Pros

      You have immense resources and your work can have an impact on literally billions of people. The benefits are great and the pay is more than competitive.

      Cons

      The many layers of management and the size of the company can make getting things done difficult and time consuming. When you work for a company that has over 90,000 employees and over a billion customers your impact can be huge which requires great care and therefore you spend more than half of your time planning rather than executing.

      Pros

      Microsoft is this world's largest software development company, this looks good to future employeers. Employees receive discounts when purchasing normally overpriced software.

      Cons

      You have to pay for food and snacks. Not a comfortable work environment, they discourage peaceful and collaborative working. They do not promote based on quality of work instead they promote based on popularity and their review system. Hard work is NEVER rewarded here, instead employees are promoted when they do less work and leave early. At Microsoft, if one person in management, regardless of their direct connection to you, doesn't like you, your next review will be damaged. I've received only one 0.5% raise in nearly 5 years of service. Microsoft has horrible retention of long term employees. Management is free to ridicule employees. They 'claim' raises and promotions can happen any time but I have never seen anyone recieve a promotion or raise outside of once a year.
