Pros

Working in Redmond offers the best opportunities to do different things at the company. With the amount of technologies Microsoft deals with, there is something there for everyone and anyone.

Cons

Working at remote offices can be difficult. The chances for advancement and career variety are limited. Many people move to WA state to take advantage of these opportunities. Support seems to suffer the most with the lack of opportunities and work/life balance.

Pros

Smart and motivated people all around you. Most are experienced from other companies though we have some smart newcomers as well. Culture is basically fantastic at this company and you have a chance to grow your career here; Looks great on the resume too

Cons

Large organization cons - not as fast moving as some other companies. Had an idea for a project and just to get approval or dis-approval took 4 months (lifetime in technology)
