Pros

Own Office Good benefits: Medicare for family, paid parental leave, etc.. Smart people to work with Recent pay raise Flexible working hours

Cons

Too much emphasis on visibility which may neglect people who's doing solid work Stock is not moving anywhere for 10 years? I see solid people forced to get a low rating due to strict curve.

Pros

Depends on the groups you are working in, the environment could be very passionate and enthusiastic if you are working for some "core" products. Those DEV leads are very experienced and knowledgeable and keen to answer questions you have. The benefits here are great.

Cons

The salaries are low compared to other big IT companies. You probably need to wait a long time for a promotion.

Pros

Benefit package is good, and Seattle is great place to live. I came here by chance but good place for folks who like laid back life.

Cons

The company culture is messed up. They are no longer innovators. I would recommend MS to only people that want to take it easy and are ok to deal with politics.
