Great Company

Pros

Microsoft is a great company to work for. Compensation & benefits are competitive, work / life balance is great, and career progression opportunities are there if you seek them out. They work hard at culture, which seems to pay dividends on the whole, though there can be a group vs group mentality at times.

Cons

It is a slow moving beast, and bureaucracy can get in the way of getting things done.

Pros

kind and helpful people, relaxed atmosphere, great perks and benefits, a lot of different areas to work in, company with stable financial results

Cons

most positions only in Redmond/Bellevue, because of Microsoft strategy you cannot use many interesting open-source technologies and have to work with those developed in Microsoft, which may not be so valuable if you later want to change company
