Pros

Microsoft in Brazil is an excellent option if you are looking for a position in Sales. Benefits are ok and morale is usually high.

Cons

If you aren't with Sales or Marketing, there is very little space for you there. Also, bonus involves lots of politics as performance is attributed along a fixed curve (i.e., only X people get one rate, Y people get another rate and Z people MUST get a bar review. As they say in poker, if you don´t know after some time who is the fool, the fool is you. So, if after some time working for MS you don't know who is going to get the bad review, it is probably an indication you are the one.

Pros

The passion, drive and energy of the people around. People are respectful of one another, and the team spirit within segments is just amazing. The company supports people development and high performers have a future here

Cons

Work life balance, if you dont land a right manager (ie. a true leader), it can be a challenging experience
