      Pros

      Awesome benfits, Great atmosphere to excel, chance to work on some exciting projects, and working with highly talented individuals is what makes Microsoft, one of the best places to work. Also to stress on the benefits, no other company can top MS on the benefits they provide for employees. The SW discount on MS products, prime card for restaurant reservations, free bus pass, free drinks and awesome food in the cafteria. The management are cool and never too demanding or stressful and help you with everything related to work and unrelated to work!

      Cons

      Lot of experienced people already working, and hence career growth may not be as fast in some other smaller companies

      Amazing Place to Learn and Grow Professionally

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Connections, Very very smart colleagues, opportunities to work in a variety of discipline over a quick period of time to learn other parts of the business. Resources and funding are outstanding and job security is very high.

      Cons

      Can be quite political since everyone is so qualified. Work hours are intense, and you can't really disconnect even when you're gone. Stigma attached to Microsoft can be a downside in certain areas.

      No longer the Microsoft of old but the benefits are good

      Lead program manager

      Pros

      The benefits are amazing, there are very few out of pocket expenses. There are co-pays on dental and vision but you never have to pay a dime for your medical expenses.

      Cons

      The political atmosphere is highly charged. It is not an ideal place to work if you expect to get rewarded for simply working hard. You need to make yourself visible to management and fight for every prmotion and raise.
