      Poor work life balance, good as a earlier career employer, but not once you have family.

      Pros

      Great benefits, lots of new technology. Work with really sharp people. Giving program is great.

      Cons

      Starting as an industry hire, I've always worked as part of a team and it has hurt me here. While I've stepped up to do some of the grunt work for the team, I've been moved around and fail to get promoted. There's very little control over when your personal life dissappears to ship the product. Massive re-orgs can tear effective teams apart.

      Pros

      There is a lot opportunity to be found at Microsoft, since the company is in virtually every field of computing. The people are smart and friendly. You get to hear interesting talks from researchers and other notable personalities from inside and outside the company. The work is challenging and intellectually stimulating.

      Cons

      Working in a large company there is sometimes a lot of process involved in coordinating everyones efforts. This overhead can sometimes get in the way of work. However, newer teams are now adopting more agile methods of software development. Since everyone is smart, there is a lot of tough competition between colleagues to get rewards and promotions, and so you need to be prepared to work long hours to be successful.
