Pros

the overall compensation package (salary, bonus, stock) and the healthcare benefits make a compelling package. Given the size of the company, I've had many opportunities to learn new skill sets, increasing my value on the market if/when I ever decide to move on.

Cons

walking into a room with 20 people and not knowing what 19 of them do and how it adds value to the company. Lots of redundancy, and places to camp out if you are mediocre or worse

Pros

Awesome benefit. Free medical is hard to beat! Microsoft has one of the most generous benefit called the "Giving Campaign" where you can contribute $12,000 per year and the company will match the amount for donation made to qualifying 501C. I don't know of any company that offers that.

Cons

Extreme bureaucracy and very hierarchal. Also, the company tend to hire type A personalities and that creates case where one who is the loudest wins out.
