Pros

Microsoft is a very nice company to work for. You get to work with good people, with good salary. Work in most of the teams is good. Microsoft has best performance review system and breadth of products & technologies.

Cons

In some groups there is lot of internal politics. IDC managment imposes silly rules in order to prevent attrition to Redmond.

Pros

Salary is competitive, benefits are great, work/life balance is ideal. There also is a lot of variety in the type of work you can do -- there are a lot of different kinds of technologies you Microsoft is developing that you could work on.

Cons

I have always been frustrated in how Microsoft evaluates performance. I feel like I could be promoted faster somewhere else.
