      Pros

      You have the chance to work on some of the most widely known software products in the world. What you are doing everyday is in fact changing the world. Ppl around you are great. Smart and nice to work with. If you are on the right team, work/life balance is great. Very liberal working environment. Great benefit. Star employees get rewarded. Lots of support around Seattle/Eastside area. Free gym and etc.

      Cons

      Bonus is not much. Team player may not be rewarded properly. If you stuck with the wrong team, lots of politics. Feeling lost in such a big company sometimes. The company is huge.

      Pros

      Big company and can move around within the company easily. There are lots of things you can work on. Lots of technologies and lots of benefits.

      Cons

      It's a very "click" type of environment. Either you are in or out. And the club that you want to be "in" with is management. Your performance will get you promoted slowly. But it seems to me the ones who are "in" move up a lot faster.

      Microsoft, a great place to work

      Pros

      The people are simply amazing. The coworkers are friendly, helpful and easy-going. You will often see people helping each other out with issues and answering questions, even if it means taking time out of their schedule There is little office politics and one's hard work does not go unnoticed. There is a lot of fun events designed to keep employees in the loop about upcoming Microsoft developments and technologies. There are often technical demos and presentations.

      Cons

      The weather in the region is pretty gloomy. It is often cloudy. Also, there are not enough women in the workplace.
