Pros

Great pay. Smart people. Wonderful benefits package. If you like code, this is a great place to be. The people here are very nice.

Cons

It just wasn't for me. If you are a young college grad, be warned the people here are older and ultimately, the stereotype is true - Microsoft is a bit corporate and stuffy. Also, the developer technology there wasn't that great. Other than Visual Studio, development tools are not that up to snuff.

Cons

Terrible upper management Abysmal stock movement Small raises / bonuses / stock A lot of politics. A whole lot of politics. Products get canned left and right depending on which VP has won favor that month.
