Pros

Microsoft as a whole is very good. Excellent benefits, big company job, lots of resources for training and such. One of the best health benefits I have come across.

Cons

If you are going to Tellme Division of Microsoft, I would recommend avoiding like a plague if you dont belong to the origin of the country where walmart outsources most of its merchandise.

Pros

Name recognition, merit based opportunities, define future technologies. Most are satisfied with the pay. Great corporate culture. Some teams are more flexible (hours) than others.

Cons

The company has gotten large, hard to differentiate yourself, some old timers are coasting. THere are some politics. Some bad managers insist on playing politics, while sr. leaders don't value the political culture.

Pros

Lots of smart & passionate engineers, tons of resources to learn and explore, probably the software/service company that takes tester most seriously, great benefits package

Cons

So-so base pay compared to the other top company, work-life balance fluctuates over time, some management people have no desire to take risk and hence reflected in the compensation/reward of the engineers
