Pros

Great working environment, loads of really smart people, and the work is really interesting. I always thought Microsoft was this evil company growing up, but it is certainly not that way at all.

Cons

Although PMs are really important and contribute a ton to our product, sometimes I feel like there are too many.

Pros

Smart people all around and good location

Cons

No work/life balance. If you do not belong to a certain culture, you will not be hired, or they will push you out if you are already in. It's become a very racist toxic environment Doing your job very well is not enough anymore.

Pros

Some of the brightest people in the industry. Competitive benefits package. Excellent support for employee charitable giving. Ability to truly change the world in software.

Cons

Hostile inter-group relations. A lot of finger-pointing to find fault. Loss of continuity on support and maintenance of core shared libraries and technologies when those technologies are considered "outdated" and "no longer sexy".
