Pros

Medical Benefits are outstanding. Have paid nothing out of pocket for me and wife for medical or prescription in all my years with Microsoft. The people at Microsoft are smart, fun and passionate. The company is investing and growing. The partnerships we have are outstanding. Customers like our business model and want us to continue driving business value for our customers.

Cons

Becoming the next IBM. Big company bureaucracy stifles innovation, and limits achievement. Stock price is stagnant. Compensation is ok; I've seen better in the workplace for comparable level of experience and skills.

Pros

They do try to take care of their people; although I suspect this has more to do with fear of losing them to competitors. Regional Senior Management is generally inspired and exceptionally competent; regrettably, they appear to be regularly undermined and overruled by the US Corporate HQ.

Cons

In my division, at least, the Corporate Management doesn't listen to the Senior Managers in the field, who know what they're doing. The company is unbelievably Redmond-centric considering how much they pride themselves on being global. The company resembles an innovator much less than it does an inept, bloated bureaucracy.
