Pros

Lots of different projects going on. Well established and stable. Good place to start your career. Lots of free software (and games if you work in Xbox).

Cons

Lots of "old guard" employees that like doing things the way they've always been done. Lots of re-orgs. Lots of moves. Hard to get out from under poor management. Very bureaucratic.

Pros

competitive salary great people pretty good work life balance

Cons

- very boring tasks, no interesting products are handled in Israel. If you really want to get successful in the company you have to be at Redmond. - Only using Microsoft technologies for development. lack of open source community culture.
