      Pros

      Work with smart people. Work on cool technology at times. The stock awards are nice. Able to work independently or as a team.

      Cons

      Very competitive environment even though rewards are dubious at best. Not a lot of innovation left at Microsoft. There is too much bureaucracy in decision making. Not clear vision for the future. Have not pushed on beyond Windows/Office juggernaut

      Pros

      Smart and motivated people all around you. Most are experienced from other companies though we have some smart newcomers as well. Culture is basically fantastic at this company and you have a chance to grow your career here; Looks great on the resume too

      Cons

      Large organization cons - not as fast moving as some other companies. Had an idea for a project and just to get approval or dis-approval took 4 months (lifetime in technology)
