Pros

Company treats their employees really well. Good name brand, and stable career. If you ever want to switch out of the company, other employers will look at the Microsoft brand with praise. Pays above average. The cost of living in the Washington area is not too high either. The area is really nice in the summer. You will have access to the mountains and lake.

Cons

Some of you might not like the Seattle/Washington area. Personally, I prefer more of urban culture. Seattle is pretty nice, but it rains a lot. Things can also move a little slow at Microsoft, but it depends whether or not that bothers you. Sometimes, it's nicer just having a slower pace work environment.

Pros

Internal Microsoft documents obtained by WashTech News show that Microsoft salaries have been stagnant or nudged only slightly higher over the past two years. Comments from current and former employees about the company's compensation and performance review system suggest a growing level of frustration among rank-and-file workers

Cons

Too long hours and no social life

Pros

Microsoft is a great company to learn new tech, associate with some of the most intelligent folks in the industry and choose from a number of disciplines. It fosters a challenging environment where people have unlimited potential to grow in their careers. In last few years the company has done a great job to improve employee work-life balance. The review process has also been made more transparent which gives you an opportunity to have open discussion about your career with the management. Apart from all these, MS offers great benefits.

Cons

Microsoft has become a large organization and that has brought tons of unnecessary process overhead.
