Pros

Lots of benefits that were offered to entice me to take the position. Offered to pay full relocation fees, transportation of my belongings, and even a maid. Lots of networking opportunities also.

Cons

Not much room for growth if you are looking to be the next mark zuckerberg or some big player in the IT fields. Some people I worked worth were not motivated at all.

Pros

Brilliant company to work for. The people are passionate and motivated all the way through.

Cons

The biggest downside working for Microsoft at the time was the limited ability to earn money in sales. The base salaries were fine, but the bonus (commission) scheme was limited.
