      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Working on software used by millions - High level of respect for established success - Company provided transportation is useful - Extremely large if you want to move around later in your career

      Cons

      - Bing has Endemic issues with a toxic work environment and broken processes - Conflict is seen as a desirable way to settle all debate - At least at Bing, morale is seen as unimportant

      lumbering, 90% politics, little innovation, poor review process

      Software development engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I worked there 4 years, and not once did the paycheck bounce or come late. Also, if you want the chance to write code that will be used by millions of people, this is one place you can do it. There are others though.

      Cons

      I found it impossible to have much on an impact on anything as IC at MS. Also if you have unique skills that not every programmer has, like I do (PhD in theoretical physics) such skills are wasted at a place like MS. If you want to have an impact on things, I found much more success at a small company. It's the whole big fish/small pond thing I suppose.
