      Pros

      Microsoft has great pay and awesome benefits. Plenty of opportunities to move around within the company when it is time to try something new.

      Cons

      Sometimes it seems there is a lot of bureaucracy and questionable decisions made by upper management depending on the organization

      Good first job

      Pros

      I joined Microsoft just out of college and it was a great experience. There are a lot of smart and cool people, the pay is good, and it's a great place to learn more than you can possibly get in classroom.

      Cons

      There can be periods of time where you have to work weekends or late nights to ship a product. Sometimes I felt chained to my email. Some of the codebases are old and rich but mindingly-complicated.

      Pros

      Vacation policy is generous. Parental leave is very generous. Daily schedule is very flexible. Most of the IC are smart, creative people.

      Cons

      Middle management stifles everything. Satya can't push his agenda down and ICs can't push their creativity up. Everything dies in between CVP and M3. Those who figure this out move on, or relax.
