Pros

Smart people, high pay, good benefits.

Cons

Victim of its own success; Microsoft tends to build software as if all teams were building Office or Windows.

Pros

Microsoft is a good company to work for. It offers: - Good benefts, such as good pay, good health benefits, child care help - Many groups and products to work on, so there is a breadth of technological space covered - Very diverse work styles in different teams, some with v1 culture, other much more mature

Cons

- Smaller pay than other big companies in the field - Some benefits that others offer (like free food) are not seen - Some teams have a lot of process to follow, which slows them down

Pros

There is a lot of roles - but it also means to get a very rounded experience you would have to do different roles - but you can do them across different teams - so life stays interesting

Cons

if Promos and pay are you thing - this is not a fast paced young company - so temper expectations
