Pros

Free drinks and benefits are of course the easy tangible things to like about being at MS. The organization is also just so huge that there are lots of opportunities for level advancement and rotations elsewhere in the company (especially for devs)

Cons

The flipside of the coin of working for such a huge employer is the bureaucracy and jump through the hope policies that are never quite defined.

Pros

Some cool products, such as Microsoft Surface, that can make a long term impact on computing. Also, the fact is the products we work on are still used by millions of people. In addition, flexible work hours, so you rarely have someone checking the clock, and good perks in addition to the salary.

Cons

Hard to get recognized, mostly because there's so many other people in the same situation as you. That in turn makes it hard to move up quickly, so gone are the days where you become instantly rich. And since it's a large company, you often run into politics at the workplace, meaning some decisions make no sense whatsoever.

Pros

Compensation, career opportunity, location. If you like working in places where you can see the sunshine and green grass, then Microsoft Redmond is the place to be.

Cons

Company is way too big. I mean really really big. I mean there are two people at that company with my name, and I'm not Joe Blopw.
