      Pros

      good pay - great benefit - good work life balance. culture to share knowledge is excellent. I worked at MSFT for 6 years and loved it. I would work there again in a heartbeat. Very relaxed environment with focus on getting the job done right rather than management crap. You are rewarded for your hard work and ability to change culture, products, and customer experience at Microsoft. Annual cash and stock bonuses provide motivation to work hard. Ability to tele-commute or work from home is excellent. Microsoft please get that stock back up in this economic rough spot. Please! Please!

      Cons

      none - lots of travel in consulting field

      Pros

      A challanging environment with significant opportunity for advancement and recognition. Management generally is very supportive with regard to its personnel practices.

      Cons

      To focused on products without sufficient leadership regarding the value of those products to their customers. Tends to be somewhat of a cult in terms of the attitude that Microsoft can do no wrong. Need to improve its ability to provide leadership and guidance to its field sales force to enable them to better represent Microsoft to their customers.

      Pros

      It comprises a large and interactive community of employees. For example, there are hundreds of mailing lists that allow people to get together for various activities, from sports on the campus to external work meetups. There are also many high quality and smart people (at least in Research). I'm not that certain about the density of smart people in other departments however. The campus is also pretty nice.

      Cons

      There is quite a bit of bureaucracy. In research, there seems to be limited tech transfer from research to products. There also seems to be many isolated feifdoms that don't interact much. It would be much better if product groups were more open to each other and less protective of their own domains.
