Pros

I used to work in Microsoft as SDE intern. Like the work life balance culture here. And for new grad, the software development process lead by a big company and how to solve problems for a green had should be considered. That's why I choose to enter big company after graduation.

Cons

For some workaholic, some teams in Microsoft may make you feel too lazy. The culture here is work life balance. Sometimes we may have a lot of meetings discussing about small features.

Pros

Working environment is great. Microsoft provide an office for full time employee.

Cons

I join Microsoft as a H1-B holder. I think Microsoft should help me on green card process. But Microsoft use every excuse to delay it and they hint me that I can work in their Canada department for a year. When I decide to leave, the unbelievable thing happened. Microsoft and more than 60 agent company were trying to block me getting a new job!!!
