      Good money, great benefits, huge impact, but bureaucratic and hobbled by legal

      Pros

      The chance to build software millions of people will use while working with some of the smartest people anywhere. Good salaries (especially at higher experience levels) and awesome health benefits for everyone. Microsoft has a reputation for poor frontline management, but there's been a huge focus on improvement that has mostly paid off. Even though the company has 90k+ employees, it retains some of the entrepreneurial spirit of the past.

      Cons

      Can be insular and difficult for those that come in as experienced hires to figure out how to advance and how things get done. Career opportunities are abundant, but it varies greatly from group to group, and while management has been improved it has a ways to go. The bureaucracy has grown into a behemoth and the legal compliance requirements have had a significant impact on development velocity.

      Maybe some profit sharing?

      Pros

      Yeah i think this company is pretty cool. But I also think hot dogs are cool too. However, Microsoft is a huge company and its cool to tell girls at bars that you work there. They think that you are made of millions!

      Cons

      I worked with a bunch of nerds and there were no attractive people in sight. They should also have some sort of incentivized pay structure, like base plus commission upon review of quality of work done. I also think that CEO's salaries should be based on performance as well. Give us some sort of profit sharing man!
