Pros

Microsoft still has one of the best benefits package out there. There are still a ton of really smart and passionate people here.

Cons

The company has been stagnant for more than a decade now. The culture, environment, and pay are all starting to lag behind the top companies in the tech industry.

Pros

Challenging work, plenty of resources, lots of intelligent, articulate people, support to take on as much responsiblity as you want. Tons of great training.

Cons

The review process has become worse than dehumanizing. Excessive workload. Mid to upper managers who really don't have an understanding of how to manage. Senior management arrogance.
