Pros

When you have a good team and a great manager, one of the best places to work in the world. Amazing benefits and job security. There are many challenging products, and with the right teams, great recognition.

Cons

If you have a poor team, or a poor manager, things can be rough. Slow promotions, mediocre reviews, favoritism, the grind. all of the worst things of software development.

Pros

Microsoft IT is good for people looking just a job not for people who wants to work on challenging stuffs.

Cons

Politics, Boring work, No point in moving between projects or teams as all are working on same technology just different deliveries. Senior level managers or developers are kind of stupid and keep giving stupid and repetitive task just to keep the resources busy. WTF ?

Pros

1) Excellent compensation 2) Very interesting projects to work on that reach many customers around the world

Cons

1) Political -- getting things done can involve getting buy in from many stakeholders 2) Shipping excellent software is valued in words, but not in actions. Deadlines are set before designs are finalized and costing is in, causing non-critical work to be regularly cut.
