Pros

Technology is world class. The breadth across consumer and commericial lines of business cannot be matched. You can help hundreds of millions of people through service or product deisgn. There is no other company in the world that has driven this much innovation in technology.

Cons

Like many companies, there are managers that should have stayed on individual contribution paths. Leadership is learned and you can do damage a team by placing someone in a roll without ensuring they have the skills to manage.

Pros

* Big company means lots of career opportunities. * Great benefits program for you and your family. * Depending on the Team, work/life balance is possible. * Lots of smart people to work with and to compete against.

Cons

* Big company means lots of process and/or repetitive process. * Loyalty factor is blemished given Microsoft claims economy is impacting them and laid-off strong performing employees with companywide job eliminations. This in turn puts a permanent blemish on their loyalty factor for those working or thinking of working there in the future.

Pros

Huge company allows many different opportunities for learning new businesses, products and styles. They consider firing more painful than death, and will avoid it at all costs. You can coast here for 10-15 years, easy. Some of the best benefits in the world.

Cons

Bloated organization of lazy slobs who cannot see anything outside of the Redmond-topia. This total disconnect taints every facet of our business. Because the ranks are full of useless middle-management who were promoted for no reason other than to retain bodies and build miniature empires, promotion is difficult if not impossible unless you master the brown-nosing politics of the old guard. It goes without saying that performance is not rewarded.
