Pros

The benefits are amazing, including health, life, 401, shuttle, meal cards. The work is good, fast, and the co-workers are enthusiastic. The campus is beautiful and Seattle is a fun city. Oh, also, the pay is amazing.

Cons

The job can sometimes move fast, and standing out can be difficult amidst the clutter. This job is software development and systems engineering, not theory or science.

Pros

I have worked for Microsoft for considerably less time than average. It was the best start for my career. The company really cares for its employees, as evident from its employee centric policies. Open door policy of managers, single occupancy cubicles and many more are policies which drive more confidence and affinity in employees towards working for Microsoft.

Cons

Nothing which is big but of course everybody has some. I would mention the performance review changes made recently as not good. It all depends on your reporting manager only.

Pros

Good Salary Nice location The work that you do may not be super interesting, but it's nice to see that your work is actually used in a piece of software used by millions.

Cons

Many unfriendly team members Strange work mentality The work environment is very unfriendly. Even though you are in teams, everybody at Microsoft really looks out for themselves.
