Pros

Opportunities to work in multiple domains over a period of time Great access to latest software and tools Great learning opportunities Great benefits

Cons

Your performance rating is decided how well others in your group performed (relative or stack ranking still takes place under the new performance system) even if you have delivered all your tasks satisfactorily You are lucky if you get a good manager who keeps his team in high spirits and fights for you. Not seen many in this category.

It's OK, but could be much better.

Pros

Benefits are great! Campus/location/offices all nice! Depending on what group you're working with it can be good.

Cons

Can be career limiting since most jobs are located in Washington. If you don't want to work there, you're pretty much out of luck. Even though there are other campuses, you are limited because the work flow there can be super slow.

Pros

Microsoft has great perks and benefits. If you take advantage of them. Some (depending on your job) opportunities to increase your education and your resume. All the soda you can drink.

Cons

No bonuses for hourly employees. If your in a "clerical" type position you may not be considered for promotions or other jobs because of your level. No one wants to make a decision or make people feel bad. This often means that bad employees or managers are passed from one department to another becuase no one will fire them.
