      A good -- but not great -- place to work

      Sales manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Smartest people I have ever worked with --bar none. Good relationships with customers and partners. Interesting work and not a lot of micromanagement -- at least not in my current role. Interesting travel. Benefits are outstanding.

      Cons

      It's become a big political company. (Sigh --I guess they all do after they 'grow up.') Hard to get promoted without the right "visibility" --meaning, knowing the right people instead of having the right skills and aptitude. Company not as focused as it once was -- too many irons in the fire.

      Work life balance is available at Microsoft, but you must demand it

      Senior development lead

      CEO approval

      Pros

      Good compensation package, especially for highly qualified employees. There is also an opportunity to work on incredible projects that are used by literally billions of people. You can still change the world working at Microsoft. It is an incredible rush to work with so many insanely smart and driven people.

      Cons

      There is a lot of talk about work-life balance, but the reality is that you only get the work-life balance that you demand. It is up to the employee to say "no" when they have had enough. While the compensation package is good, Microsoft isn't minting any new millionaires. If you come to work for Microsoft, you are working for a paycheck.

      Perfect work-life balance for a tech company

      Summer intern
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work environment is laid back. Focus is put on your completing your work, and not when (hours of the day) you do it. Great compensation.

      Cons

      Pretty obvious, but when you have a company this size, bureaucracy becomes an issue.
