Pros

Outstanding healthcare & other benefits! Unlimited supply of free Mountain Dew! Progressive and diverse culture! Good work-life balance in most roles. Great opportunities for career advancement! Fascinating technology at your fingertips! Broaden your technical skills! Collaborate with other brilliant minds! Learn and grow in-role! Fair compensation! An all-around good deal.

Cons

The size of this company is so massive, it makes it nearly impossible to navigate internally. Change is a slow-moving beast. The training sucks, in general, but if you're good a self-studying there are endless resources available to you.

Pros

Lot of good things. As a lover of technology, you have lot of things to work on. Lot of different challenges to excite you Excellent Pay

Cons

Politics is the biggest problem. Doing good work is rewarded less than making connections. There is too much hierarchy in management to prevent you from being visible.

Pros

I've never seen support for career path like what is offered at Microsoft! Access to brilliant people is awe inspiring. Perfect place for people who want to advance to the next level of their careers - and the next - and the next.

Cons

If you're not willing to invest a lot of hard work, this is not the place for you. There is little support for folks that want to stay in the same place doing the same work for an extended period of time.
