Pros

Microsoft is a very large company, but there are lots of opportunities to take on challenges across a wide variety of technologies. Employees can join groups that are 1.0/startup mode, or others that are working on v.12. The employee benefits package is the new 'golden handcuffs' for the company. Anyone with a family weights our benefits as one of the most important reasons for staying with the company.

Cons

Our 30+ year corporate culture is too focused on platforms instead of solutions. Its extremelly sad/fustrating to see competitors come out with products that customers love, when we had done this work internally but couldn't figure out how to turn it into a platform.

Pros

Pays well, learn a lot, get respect from peers and management. I believe that this short sequence of words sums things up very well and that I really don't need to say anything further. Some, like the creators of this site, might disagree, but I think that my statement fully addresses the question.

Cons

Poor internal tools and a culture of working many hours. I believe that this short sequence of words sums things up very well and that I really don't need to say anything further. Some, like the creators of this site, might disagree, but I think that my statement fully addresses the question.
