Pros

Benefits! Challenging, fast-paced work, TONS of opportunities for professional growth. Great people. Knowing you're making a different in the industry.

Cons

It's in Redmond, which is a really lame area in general. Of course, they've made it very easy to commute from Seattle. :)

Pros

The pay is great here at Microsoft. And at Redmond you really get to see a lot. The best thing about a corporation like Microsoft is that there're a lot of things, from hardware to software to research, from productivity to OS to gaming, from the sales to product management. IT's a great place to start fi you haven't figured out exactly which route you wanna go.

Cons

There's high stress working at microsoft..... management are used to grilling workers at meetings until they admit they don't know what they're doing, and kick them back to work twice as hard. There're not many team get-togethers. I'd like some more and that definitely would boosts our morale.

Pros

Smart people. Good work-life balance. Good training opportunities. Microsoft generally offers a variety of classes at their campuses (such as the SVC campus) so you can usually find something you like. Microsoft medical benefit is still No. 1 in the industry. So take advantage of it while you can.

Cons

Slow career growth. Lower pay comparing to other tech companies. Hugely political review system. Team members are pit against each other at review time. Low merit raise overall.
