Pros

- Great place for engineers - Several technical opportunities and challenges - Good place to grow and find mentors - Good place to get experience in multiple roles and products

Cons

- you can get overworked and feel burnt-out - competition is intense ( most people here are incredibly smart, so even if you are used to being the "smartest one" in school or other small companies, be prepared to just be "average" here)

Pros

It is after all Microsoft. They only steal from the very best!. They are not necessarily the most innovative company (Unless you are talking about the X-Box side of things!), but they are the best marketing engine around. Benefits for FTE's are excellent

Cons

Work-Life balance is terrible, but it is slowly getting better over the years. Middle management is all over the map. There are excellent managers and there are terrible managers. When your project ships, you look for a new position internally. Can't find one? You are out!

Pros

Good benefits. Stable job. Lots of teams and opportunities to work on different technologies. Great developers. Respected by other people.

Cons

Very slow career growth. Some of the teams have become too big and lethargic. Not a lot of room of innovation on the job.
