      Distracted but impressive.

      Pros

      Most things in microsoft are quite pleasant. The biggest problem with Microsoft as with all large corporations is the deadwood that so often accumulates. Additionally managements current obssession with trying to by yahoo has distracted this company and devalued our own offerings. If we suck so badly at the internet, LAY THEM OFF. Form a personal perspective, the job of a program manager at microsoft is uniqu. Guiding a product from inception to a billion dollar industry can't really be done anywhere else in quite the same way. The leverage over human output is stunning (try working in Excel, Word, or Outlook).

      Cons

      The Commute, the Rain, the Rain and the Rain.

      Pros

      Microsoft is a place where you are surrounded by smart people, and you get to be a part of developing products that will make the world a better place. I feel very proud to be part of a company the is striving to the best.

      Cons

      Hmmm. . . . it can be kind of hard to navigate in such a large company, so getting to know people outside of your group is key. This will also help you figure out how to get things done, so building relationships and networking within Microsoft is important.

      Microsoft allows it's employees to think outside the box when designing solutions for customers

      Pros

      We're allowed to think "out of the box" when designing great customer experiences and new business opportunities. And to deliver those experiences we're encouraged to use new or enhanced processes if they're proven to work elsewhere (internal or external). So in short, this truely is a place where you can dream big and deliver on those dreams, all it takes is passion, the ability to influence and a rock solid business plan.

      Cons

      Microsoft is under the microscope of many global governments, that very thing makes it difficult to deliver exactly what customers what and ask for. We've been given hand cuffs becuase we're become popular, in a word, it's totally unfair to our customers.
