Good Atmosphere, fair compensation, good management, work hours are decent. I think the best reason to work here is a good stable atmosphere, tech innovation but grounded in business realities.

Cons

Corporate hierarchy, Weather in redmond sucks when one has to be there.

Pros

This is a company everybody knows. There's pride in tradition and culture of this company. i grew up with Microsoft products and always wondered about working for them. Compensation is pretty decent as a place right out of college and you do get a little awe struck as you are working inside the Microsoft branch.

Cons

The location is just too expensive for people coming right out of college to afford. Especially with the house price boom, I could only rent a small one bedroom apartment at the town. As far as leadership goes, there should be some more infrastructure in place for more open and innovative way for us to work together. Microsoft should not lose to Google of the world.
