Pros

Great opportunities to work with interesting technologies. The people I worked with were hardworking and fun to be around. Beautiful campus to walk around during breaks. I enjoyed the morning lecture series (they brought in top notch MS employees). Great weekly performance review cycle.

Cons

Work is very team dependent, you need to find a good one. At times feels isolated. Too much emphasis is put on documentation and needs more innovation.

Pros

Microsoft is the pioneer in computing. If you've got the skills then this is the place to shoe it off and get compensation. You will work with bunch of great minds on some of the newest technology advancements.

Cons

Well its a big cooperation hence communication can be overwhelming at times.

- Opportunity to work on any technology that you are interested in - Opportunity to grow vertically as well as horizontally (generalist) - Benefits - Corporate citizenship (MSFT encourages you to contribute to your cause in more than one ways) - Super smart and passionate people to work with

Cons

- Some groups are very bureaucratic - Certain lack of agility in getting things done (very subjective depends on which group you work on) - At times the criteria for promos is very fuzzy - Compensation as measured by base pay
