Pros

good chances to work on many product lines. good medical benefit. opportunity to learn many techs. good for starter

Cons

performance review is a virus for this company, 10% constantly been kicked out every year. too limited views for people want to grow. many devs need to work over 50 hours to survive, or you drop to the 10% category. believe it or not.

Pros

Staff, Compensation (salary, stocks, bonus) , health/medical/ins, 401, work environment, work schedule, dress code.

Cons

Management, Review system, head to head competition in team work env. Microsoft really need to think about review process specially evaluating Sr. employees. MS spends a lot of resources to take him to the Sr. level and then spent very few resources to help/find appropriate feet for U/10 employee. Even in all review guides said "5" is not a label, it is label for sure that practiced in every team in MS. To me this very neglected way to manage your assets. Talking to MS employees I found that lying is pretty common among management.
