Pros

Training, very good technical skills. Large scale products and impacts. Working with smart people really makes you feel smooth and challenged enough. And work/life balance is fairly good compare other tech companies.

Cons

Getting too much emphasis on so called "visibility", more politics than average tech companies. And the technology is gradually "isolated" from the industry that puts more and more resources on open source.

Pros

Great people, friendly talented and open but this is the Bing team. Great benefits, stocks, allowances and flexible hours All depends on your manager Steve Ballmer is gone :D Changing culture after Satya came, becoming more or moving towards a more agile company (trying to enstill the startup culture)

Cons

Company is huge and takes a lot of time to act on opportunities (but changing) Undervalules employees compared to redmond since there is a huge currancy difference and market prices are very low
