Pros

1. Generally good benefits-- medical, dental, health club, PRIME (local attractions) discounts, etc. 2. Many smart people

Cons

1. Review process and calibration curve appears to favor and disfavor employees due to politics 2. Calibration curve results in limited partnerships/collaboration among peers in same band 3. My pet peeve: nearly all parking spaces are marked "compact" so SUVs regularly ding my door

Pros

It's Microsoft. They do a lot of great things across a lot of different fields. It looks good on a resume, they pay reasonably well.

Cons

I had 5 managers in 11 months and received no real guidance after the first couple months. I chose to help a team that needed it, not look out for myself, and paid for it with the worst review ever -- even though I hit all the goals set out for me by Managers #1 & 2.
