Pros

MS has always offerred countless opportunities for ambitious, hard working people. Much of this has been lost to size and beurocracy, but if a person knows how to promote themself they can be effective and still push the envelope.

Cons

Beaurocracy. Too much attention to achieving review goals, even if the business needs change. Many ineffective mgrs, but certainly not all. Promoting a tech to manage techs rarely works, but frequently happens at MS.

Pros

smart people, challenging work, can move around to other opportunities without leaving city or company, free drinks, really good benefits,

Cons

bad managers can screw up ur career, can take years to rebuild, I've had both good and bad managers, have been promoted so I know what I'm talking about, very political. Employees who have been working here for 5+ years really know how to screw others in reviews (ex. your friends talk badly about you behind your back to your manager). Employees don't really know whats going on outside of MS and generally don't care (or care about customers too much). average pay

Despite the naysayers, Microsoft still encourages creativity, ambition and innovation like no other company I've worked for or with. Takes amazing care of employees, fantastic benefits!

Cons

Size - often 3 groups unknowingly working on very similar projects
