Great so far

Pros

Great benefits and pay. Microsoft is striving forward to be more open and shed off the pre-existing bureaucracy. At the same time, they're working hard to make better and more secure products .

Cons

Nothing of much significance so far. The only con I see so far is that because of the size, it will be difficult to navigate through stuff initially.

Pros

Benefits Salary Brand Microsoft works on various technologies and areas and you are bound to get interested in something Own office (Probably a con)

Cons

Politics Microsoft is still in old world top-down thinking. The amount of influence you get to do things in other start up and competing companies is huge. Microsoft doesnt give you that kind of influence. it is improving under Satya. But it will take time to seep down. (problem with top-down) Good if you are fresher (again you are missing out a lot of learning from startup world or from competing companies with great collabaration)

Pros

Good salary and perks. Many smart people. Old company that will probably be around for a while.

Cons

Poor management and ambiguous work environment. Health insurance used to be good, but is very expensive now.
