Pros

Great environment to learn a lot from teammates and trainings. Chance to work with some quite talented engineers/managers. Great place to learn disciplined and structured software engineering. Flexible work schedule and care about work-life balance.

Cons

It really depends on your team and managers. In good teams, you can work on great projects which have big impact to the company/industry and make you feel satisfied, and work with talented and nice teammates who you can learn a lot from. With great managers, you can have a great career path in this company and get promoted more easily (compared to those who don't have good managers). And make sure you're really interested in programming on Windows.

Pros

There are many opportunities, people are great and motivated, many challenges to work on, benefits are great.

Cons

Too big so you can get lost if you are not paying attention to your career. Public doesn't think highly of the brand, which is frustrating at times.
