Pros

Salaries: The salaries are VERY competitive. This is common knowledge in the Seattle area. Unlike other companies, we are offered a salary that is hard to beat and they are willing to meet you halfway if they can when it comes to compensation. The Benefits: We pay absolutely NOTHING for healthcare, vision or dental... NOTHING... Our insurance is the best and we don't even have to pay co-pays or for medication... Furthermore, MSFT offers a Legal Plan to employees... It also pays for gym membership to the best gym in town Pro Sports Club. The Perks: Software and devices offered by MSFT can be purchased at the MSFT Store for super cheap. You also receive a Discount Card which has THE best discounts in all of Seattle. Imagine buy one entree and get the second free at the nicest restaurants in the city? This program applies to anything you can imagine - from restaurants to zoos/aquariums, plays, car purchases, spas, travel, you name it!

Cons

Hours, High Expectations on Deliverables. This isn't so bad when you consider the benefits and salary. You just need to learn how to balance.

Pros

The pay is great here at Microsoft. And at Redmond you really get to see a lot. The best thing about a corporation like Microsoft is that there're a lot of things, from hardware to software to research, from productivity to OS to gaming, from the sales to product management. IT's a great place to start fi you haven't figured out exactly which route you wanna go.

Cons

There's high stress working at microsoft..... management are used to grilling workers at meetings until they admit they don't know what they're doing, and kick them back to work twice as hard. There're not many team get-togethers. I'd like some more and that definitely would boosts our morale.
