      Pros

      - amazing compensation - flexible working hours - amazing medical benefits - work with few of the best minds - People are willing to help. - constructive feedback is welcomed ad encouraged

      Cons

      - Stability is a concern - Every new CEO brings in LOADS of changes and at times you get caught in the changes - will be difficult to work anywhere else after working there - Having enough technical knowledge is not enough. You need to play your cards right.

      Pros

      Honestly, the main Pros for working at Microsoft have to do with the work life balance and the benefits. There's a good amount of drinking/joking on the job; which can actually be viewed as a good or a bad thing depending on who you ask (mostly good when done responsibly in my opinion). The people are generally pretty smart and fun to be around though there's waay too many who have become or just are complacent and lack the motivation to be better at their jobs.

      Cons

      Management is atrocious. Like others have pointed out, there are waay too many managers who don't actually even understand/possess the skills to do their jobs and effectively manage a team. The culture is egotistical in the sense that it promotes an "I" sort of mentality. Their is very little in terms of collaboration and promoting team success. The infrastructure is archaic and all over the place. Also, there is very little emphasis placed on employee growth and development.
