Pros

Benefits are amazing -- from the health benefits, to stock purchase plans, generous leave of absence for employees with newborns, the list goes on. Its a large company so plenty of opportunities to move into other, diverse areas of the business. People are generally collaborative in nature here, which is great. MS is very respectful of work/life balance.

Cons

Very decentralized, also beaurocratic at times, difficult to get things done. Sometimes, communication is not very clear from the top down -- Not always clear if everyone is working towards the same goals. Politics also seem to get in the way of getting things down at times.

Pros

MSFT is the crazy company, everything is huge and extraordinary, we spent million dollars in corporate events or marketing. The processes are very powerfull (even they are more and penible to support) and it's a very good school for learning politics, marketing and overlay management.

Cons

By MSFT it's "up" or "out". You are responsible of your own carrer and nobody cares with your own interest. Everything is for the company, you had to work even more and more and recognization is less and less. The economic model is very powerful, it's a model. The only problem is: where is the money? No extraordinary compensations, no shares benefits... Where is the money?
