Pros

World famous software giants; Wide deployed software products; Super size development; Better benefits;

Cons

People there too narrow minded (they do not realize outside world may provide better ideas sometimes); Mgmt uses performance review as a tool to get ride of people not a way to help people grow; Smart people sometimes fight in a even mean way for small pieces of promotions;

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!
