Pros

Great set of benefits, flexible working environment, opportunities to develop. Fantastic products and the company is heading in a great direction. The company has a wider range of lines of businesses from sales, marketing, support, advertising, software, games development, consumer products. This makes it a fun and interesting place to work and provides lots of opportunity. Performance management system provides clear expectations and rewards great performance. Regular employee feedback is listened to and acted upon.

Cons

Salary is somewhat slightly below market averages when looked at on its own. This can be mitigated with other benefits such as car, health, insurances, pension, gym etc.

Pros

Very smart people doing great things. Suprisingly good work life balance from my experience in MSIT.

Cons

Slow moving to get things done. It is like trying to turn an aircraft carrier sometimes to get things done.

Pros

Microsoft has been an incredibly stable company to work for. Roles and expectations are generally well specified. Lots of opportunity to move up or around within the company. There is always something new and exciting to work on. New ideas are always welcome and freedom to pursue your passions. Hard work is always rewarded.

Cons

The work environment can be quite competitive. Rewards are performance driven as compared to your colleagues. If everyone is a superstar, it can be difficult to differentiate yourself.
