      I want to love Microsoft, but the politics make it hard.

      Pros

      The training programs offered by MS are impressive. I was able to take a class at the Kellogg School of Management that prepped me for Product Management. There are lots courses like this specifically designed to improve your skill set. There are also lots of good managers at Microsoft -- not all but more than average. The coolest thing, however, is that Microsoft is really thinking about how to solve the big problems and as an organization has the resources to do amazing things.

      Cons

      - bureaucracy - the organization is highly matrixed - internal politics

      Pros

      MSFT comes with a well known name and is respected for its hiring of talented people, the benefits are excellent.

      Cons

      Review and compensation system, poor managers - MSFT assumes all people once they've reached a certain level are suited to managing people. There are more bad managers then there are good ones. Work/Life balance is a joke! Corporately they really do mean well, but too many managers don't live it and want to get the work done any way possible instead of pushing back on upper management about the feasibility of getting the work done in a specific time frame.
