      Pros

      Amazing company, access to fantastic software and insight into cool new things. For the most part, everyone is incredibly smart and good to work with

      Cons

      As a salaried employee; there is a tendency to work in excess of 60 hours per week. There is also a tendency to "lose" accrued vacation due to lack of opportunity to take time off.

      Pros

      Excellent place to learn, almost anything is possible if you have the right social and technical skills. Great place to get experience and learn new things. Any idea can be developed into a usable product regardless of who you are. Great medical benefits and on campus services for working parents. Great open door policy. Great flex work- as long as you do the time. Great benefits. High expectations of results are equal for everyone. Nearly no red tape to get your work done, endless resources and access to information. Mostly very excellent people to work with, great open work environment.

      Cons

      Highly competitive, high stress, crushing politics, low incidence of women and minorities, gender and minority wage gap a problem. Recognition for results lacking. Who you know can get you farther than results.

      Pros

      The great management team. No other company has so much impact on today's world. Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office are among the most well known and widely used products. Working on such great products, as well as other smaller products, is an incredible experience.

      Cons

      None, everything is great here!
