      Pros

      Being on the cusp of technology advancement and work on some of the most used software in the world. It is also nice to be surrounded by mostly super intellingent people that get things done. Benefits are top notch, though salary growth is slow.

      Cons

      too many people, things take too long to complete. I honestly believe Msft would benefit from trimming down. I would rather work on a team where we are 'understaffed' than having to fight for 'sexy' projects and for visibility. Individuals are rewarded and not teams and this creates a problem where people care more about their visibility than the good of the team.

      Pros

      It is a big company with lots of opportunities. You have lots of options for advancement in a wide range of areas, ranging from buisness to operations to finance to ... Microsoft also do a very good job of hiring smart, competent people. I work in the European Operations Center in Dublin and I can honestly say that everyone I work with does their job well and has a good attitude towards their work. This is a refreshing change from some other places I have worked.

      Cons

      All areas of the company are totally budget driven with lots of money at the start of the fiscal year and none for the last quarter

      Pros

      You can have a major, positive impact on a huge number of people while learning from an extremely talented set of peers. The company operates and succeeds by listening to ideas from anyone and everyone, internal and external, then weighs trade offs and make product plans. They are also willing to change product plans as needed to strive toward customer satisfaction and adoption. Although multiple releases may be needed with a specific product to really hit a successful stride, the persistence and investment made by the company often results in great success for the company and consumers alike. The effect you can have on a large number of customers to improve their efficiencies and enable new scenarios is simply amazing.

      Cons

      This is also a positive, but one downside is that it is so large it is possible to feel lost.
