      Good individual contributors, mediocre leadership

      Pros

      Pay is good, projects are interesting. I have worked with a lot of great individuals. Microsoft has a lot of cool projects (Xbox, Zune), which to me gives them a leg up over somewhere like Google or Amazon.

      Cons

      So far I have not been very impressed by management, who seem to be a bit lost and out of touch with the trenches. Overall I like working at Microsoft but mostly due to the people on my team that I work with, much more than the company.

      Pros

      As Bill Gates says: "This is the place where you can change the world". It is quite true. That is probably the single most reason for me to work. Compensation package is at par with industry. Tremendos opportunities for professional and career growth. Clear cut defined roles and expectations. Best in the nation medical coverage.

      Cons

      Reviews can be bureacratic. Very hierarchical levels. There is some lack of direction in terms of technical strategy. Groups are pretty independent and hence, at times, often compete with each other. Some people can loose track with too much job security.
