Microsoft reviews

Range of opportunities: Microsoft builds just about every kind of software imaginable so you can switch every few years and work on a different product with different challenges. Smart people: The vast majority of Microsoft employees are smart, nice people. If you've worked at companies where that's not the case, you know how important this is. As an example, I hang out with my co-workers after work -- not because I have to or because I don't know anyone else, but because they're great people that I enjoy hanging out with. Reach of products: There are very few other companies where you can work on a product that will reach millions of users and potentially change the way people do work and live their life. Great benefits: The medical and dental plan at Microsoft are very comprehensive. This is especially valuable if you have a family. Stability: No worrying about whether or not Microsoft will make payroll.
