      I hope Microsoft is not a train-wreck looking for a place to happen

      Pros

      If you have a family with dependents to care for, then the benefits are great. I suspect that's the primary reason many of average people hang on to Microsoft.

      Cons

      In some groups, you have really bad management. Over time, cronies and yes-men have been promoted to mid to senior managerial positions. The saying that A's hire other A's and B's hire C's and D's can be seen in action in some of these groups. If, as a new hire, you end up in one of these places, life can be miserable.

      OK Tech Company but not the best.

      Pros

      It is a famous company. Microsoft's name on your resume will open many doors for you. There are still a lot of smart people here. The paid is OK for me. I may get a little bit more in other big tech companies in the area, however, it is just not worth the hassle to change job.

      Cons

      A lot of red tapes to get job done. There are many layers of management in Microsoft. The company does not move fast comparing to other leading tech companies. We lost many good engineers to Google.
