Pros

1. a famous company which might highlight your working experience in your resume 2. employee has his/her own office ( might be an office with no windows) 3. its own library with books 4. many talent colleagues you could learn from

Cons

penny cheap - do not expect good salary or bonus tons of politics - you notice the something weird but you never know why no respect to employee, managers yelling at you often and never satisfied (you could imagine why because they are also being abused and disregarded the same as you), humiliating and insulting words like "we have high standards", "you are supposed to know", "you only meet our minimum requirement", ( yes, they have high standard but low salaries and want to compete with G, what a joke! ) monthly commitment - you are required to write down tasks you must finish. even if it's delayed or not done due to bad plans , it's your fault and put on the final review because "you're supposed to know"

Pros

Bes healtht benefits very flexible working hours and great work/life ballance ability to change areas within the ocmpany as no other company... one year work in OS, another in SQL and the next in Bing freefom to use whatever OS, Tool, etc. you want (other companies are much stricker)

Cons

- too centralzed in USA.... not many opportunities for employees to work in other countries with compeling jobs. - although everyone knows MS will still be a strong company in 10 years, nobody knows if it will be like an IBM which is still strong but, not close to what it was in the past... that reflect in your stock award value and future groth.
