      Great stable company to work for.

      Pros

      Tons of smart people. Lots of groups to work for, all situated in a single campus. Each group in Microsoft has a product line often equivalent to another rival company. Great benefits esp. medical.

      Cons

      Too much butt kissing required for promotions. You better be the manager's pal. Lots of infighting between groups (especially R&D and secretive incubation groups).

      Pros

      chance to make money from stock options. at least this used to be true - I left in 2000 at the height of the dot com boom.

      Cons

      people seemed utterly unethical there to me. i've never worked with so many liars before. the air just reeked of insincerity. there also didn't seem to be much vision there, people were so heads down about drilling into their problem domains that they gave short shrift to larger issues. i personally filed a bug that ms exchange needed protection against e-mailed viruses, only to have the issue blown off by management. that was a poor choice, MS.
