Pros

Energetic company to work for.

Cons

Most strange thing is that: People are valued not on what he is needed to do, rather his next level supposed to do (and measured by it some how). Essentially, you can do superb job on your duties, and you will never get rewarded.

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.
