Pros

Reasonably good pay and benefits, wide range of available fields to work on covered, everyone can find something for themselves (from low-level coding to abstract research), nice corporate culture.

Cons

Some teams/projects are mismanaged, and there's significant waste of resources in some departments.

Pros

Microsoft is a great place for people who enjoys family life and work-life balance. Also for people like me, stability and long-term business is a bug plus.

Cons

can't complain about anything really. What others deem the biggest cons of Microsoft (the internal conflict) I see as a necessary price to pay for diversity.

Pros

MS IT is know for its good work/life balance, although it depends on the group and team. Overall it is better than in product groups

Cons

MS IT is also know for having too many meetings. There are meetings to plan meetings It could be bureaucratic and political. It's interesting how non-technical people are loud and can influence engineering
