Pros

I really enjoyed the opportunity to work for a company that has all the technological tools needed to do my job.

Cons

Sad to say, but management really has no idea of what their possitions are for. All that they care is about to protect their paychecks and be in good standing with Human Resoruses, wich is a department that, as the employee does not sings their checks, the "HR" department will team up with management to ensure that employees that have an opinion are silenced "legally"

Pros

benefits and # of opportunities

Cons

work/life balance is completely out of control... most employees can't and don't have the real ability to see beyond 2 steps ahead of them... their ability to really invent or drive innovation is about the worst you'll see... people play the political game more than working on real value added projects. people don't know how to make effective or any decisions... everyone seems to focus on trying to one up each other rather than coming together as a team to create something that's worthwhile sharing... the worst is that the act of everyone trying to be what is 'microsoft'... whatever the individual beliefs are of what it means to be a microsoft employee...
