Pros

Benefits, smart people, diversity of employees and roles. Some groups have exceptional flexible working policies; most in my workgroup work from home at least one day per week, and my division has a policy that regular meetings are not to be held before 10 AM or after 4 PM.

Cons

Political environment that's slow to change.

Pros

Kid in a candy store if you're a techie. Everything you touch or do could have a huge impact on many customers. Free software (MSFT stuff that is). Good prices on MSFT goods.

Cons

The compensation is low - I can go to an alternate place and get 30% increase overnight.. While part of comp is stock, the stock price stinks just hovers hasn't moved. The company is too Redmond focused. Wish they would open up real development in more places in the country, east coast for me. Redmond is way to rainy for me. Man, I need to see the sun. In Field they they hire some real clowns too. Don't recongnize experience and again, soft skills are short.

Pros

The benefits are fantasitc. Time off and folks are smart.

Cons

It's very political. The people you know gets you promoted, not how hard you work. Suck up as much to your manager, you'll do very well in this company. Beer is good. My manager has a fridge full of it in his office.
