Pros

Microsoft is a wonderful company to work for. The people there are intelligent, passionate and the culture is open and encouraging. The solutions and products really do make a difference to the people and businesses that use them. The risk/reward culture encourages innovation and exceptional efforts.

Cons

Work life balance can some times be a negative factor, but Microsoft allows and coaches to manage the balance that works for the individual. For a technology and solutions company they have systems and tools challenges that really impact their business. Change also seems to be a constant and many employees are saying that we should give new business models more than 6 months of run time before we judge them success or failure.

Pros

Leading, recognized company, working for Microsoft is always a positive note in your CV. You can change your positions inside Microsoft from an XBox position to an Enterprise Server position, which you can´t find in any other IT company. Also, you can feel a protagonist in the software/IT market products/platforms. Customers and partners will always hear you.

Cons

Politics and short term numbers work can become your first priority working at microsoft, which means be out of the reality in the market, loosing ground with innovative trends, competition and customer requirements
