Pros

It's an industry leader, with stability and great health benefits. There are some very good people who work there (though not enough).

Cons

Everything is date focused and quality takes a back seat. Then, when quality problems rear their ugly heads, management doesn't have any ideas except to put the team in death marches. That's not management. There's no long term focus, at most they think one year out and don't focus on improving quality or productivity.

Pros

Flex time, telecommuting, I had a great manager who understood need for challenges. The division I worked for was an awesome bunch of people who liked to party.

Cons

Too much silo'ing, not enough information sharing between teams. Fear of layoffs and merging of IT groups caused people to withold information.

Pros

* Big company means lots of career opportunities. * Great benefits program for you and your family. * Depending on the Team, work/life balance is possible. * Lots of smart people to work with and to compete against.

Cons

* Big company means lots of process and/or repetitive process. * Loyalty factor is blemished given Microsoft claims economy is impacting them and laid-off strong performing employees with companywide job eliminations. This in turn puts a permanent blemish on their loyalty factor for those working or thinking of working there in the future.
