Pros

Fairly lax working environment and NO dress code which is very nice. I hate wearing slacks, dress shirt and dress shoes. Shorts and flip flops suit me just fine. You can't beat the benefits. I doubt that Boeing is as good as the benefits that MS provides. If you are fortunate enough to get on a team where you have a good manager who cares about their people, then you will have a GREAT experience during your time at MS.

Cons

Unfortunately, if you get a bad manager (which definitely does happen) you''ll be wondering why you ever wanted to come and work for this company. This does apply to any company but I've seen great people who were smart, hard working and collobrative either get managed out of the company or just end up leaving due to sheer frustration because of really bad managers.

Pros

Because of the size of the company, experiences are different in different departments. Overall it is a nice place to work with good pay, bonuses and perks.

Cons

Processes and structure can come in the way of fast growth. Lot of bloated middle management.

Pros

There are a lot of great technical geniuses at Microsoft, and the company has a great lineup of products and a ton of money to throw at new ideas.

Cons

Despite the whole "One Microsoft" shift, there is still a lot of career based engineering going on in the culture. If you're a white male, you'll have to work your but off a lot more than any of the protected classes in the majority that will get promoted quickly or fast-tracked.
