Pros

Great health benefit. 401K, stock award, employee stock purchase plan, generous sick leave, seattle is a beautiful city to live.

Cons

you probably hear that Microsoft is full of smart people. That is probably the case 10 years ago or if you are in the right group. I personally work with some of the worse testers / developers. They are just plain stupid. They do not know how to design stuff. They make the wrong decision all the time. System become super complicated. I am very dissatisfied with my work and the people that I work with.

Pros

- Opportunity to meet and work with some of the smartest people in the sofware industry - Possible opportunity to work in fast pace environments, and on projects that go from very small to very large

Cons

- Review system is not fair...10% of all employees WILL be given the message that they are on track to be managed out - Some managers are amazing, but most are poorly trained, and are quick to use the easy tools (fear, micro management) as opposed to the more difficult but more rewarding tactics (inspiration, leadership as a service)
