      Great IT company to work for but watch the red tape at times

      Pros

      Global company provides employees with many different cultural perspectives. High energy level of most employees. Opportunity to transfer to other divisions / geographies. Great benefits if you're in Redmond and pretty good salaries. Strong company culture creates sense of community. Great internal promotion prospects. Excitement that comes with being part of such a high-profile company / industry (epic battle with Google, Linux, etc.).

      Cons

      At times, there was too much bureaucracy...Also, with low turnover rates, the culture is quite insular. Notice the way many job descriptions are written on their job site - many of the acronyms are only understandable if you've been in Microsoft. The concept of 'changing lives' with software was often overblown.

      Pros

      It's a great place for anyone who is passionate about technology. MS has such a wide variety of products - web, consumer products, developer products, desktop apps used by millions, etc. Very few companies provide such wide array of opportunities.

      Cons

      It's a large company - so like any other large company there are structures and processes that some might not like. It does vary from group to group. If you work in an established product like Windows/Office there are many processes to be followed, whereas if you work for an innovation group, it will be much more like a start up.
