      Pros

      Awesome benefits. Great work-life balance. Great straight-outta-college job. Beautiful Redmond campus with tons of great activities for 20 and 30 somethings.

      Cons

      Gotta play to get paid. Self-promotion is a constant necessity along with the ear of your skip-manager (your actual manager has no power to grant you rewards). Annual "Connect"s are only as good as your skip's willingness to read feedback. Glowing reviews can be sent straight to the Recycle Bin because it was "too time consuming" to read them all. Dogmatic adherence to the Microsoft ecosystem. Wanna write something in Python? Forget it. Switch teams (and company while your at it). Have a great OSS resource you'd like to pull into a project? Good luck getting through LCA approval. Butthurt is all around when someone calls a MS baby ugly.

      Pros

      Great company to work at! Great work environment and always learning new things. Would highly encourage anyone to apply at Microsoft - also great benefits.

      Cons

      Absolutely no cons. I think Microsoft is a great company. I am a Software Engineer and love it. I interviewed at other places and none of them even compared to Microsoft.
