Pros

Work life balance is good. Good environment. Good freebies , pleasant place to work. Friendly peers and place to learn if you are enthusiastic.

Cons

Most part of the work might not be that much interesting in test. People will be friends in their own groups and most of them are here for ages, and it takes time to break into them and mingle.

Pros

The company is very respectful to its employee. No one is expected to work long hours. Everyone has a fair enough chance to get promotions and the compensation is very good. The company wanted to retain its people and has good work life balance.

Cons

With the latest trends the company is shedding Test employees and the situation is bad. They could have moved people around but they choose to lay people off. I lost my job in the process as well.

Pros

Opportunities to work on almost anything you love. Pay is good, benefits too (though shrinking). Tons of resources to apply to any tough, interesting problem.

Cons

It takes a long time to get things done, many meetings, and multiple rounds of management reviews and approval and a lot of status writing. Benefits are shrinking, but still good. Microsoft isn't the 800 pound gorilla anymore, it's the middle-aged gorilla with a beer gut.
