Pros

chance to make money from stock options. at least this used to be true - I left in 2000 at the height of the dot com boom.

Cons

people seemed utterly unethical there to me. i've never worked with so many liars before. the air just reeked of insincerity. there also didn't seem to be much vision there, people were so heads down about drilling into their problem domains that they gave short shrift to larger issues. i personally filed a bug that ms exchange needed protection against e-mailed viruses, only to have the issue blown off by management. that was a poor choice, MS.

Pros

Good Atmosphere, fair compensation, good management, work hours are decent. I think the best reason to work here is a good stable atmosphere, tech innovation but grounded in business realities.

Cons

Corporate hierarchy, Weather in redmond sucks when one has to be there.
