Pros

There is a significant amount of freedom at Microsoft, you can do whatever you want regardless of what your boss says. Don't worry about getting lunch, it is on the house! On tuesdays there is always free bagels with your starbucks coffee.

Cons

The downsides is sometimes managers disregard what is best for the company and would rather look out for themselves. This makes it difficult to show your true creativity which is needed for optimal work efficiency. Working at microsoft as an intern was extremely helpful to your resume and allows you to have more freedom at work. I really appreciated the help that my co-workers provided.

Pros

Talented people, massive user bases for our products, hard problems to solve, good infrastructure for developers. Opportunities to be a lead if you want to. Microsoft employees take criticism very seriously and respond to it.

Cons

Not likely to get rich anymore, misconceptions by general public.
