      Microsoft is a Value Play

      Account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Impact, relevance, position and drive to be a leader in the software industry makes Microsoft a great company to work for and enables all people, processes, companies, governments and organizations that use Microsoft software to realise their full potential.

      Cons

      Big, slowing down and not as efficient as it once used to be. Also Microsoft can't have being first to market as its #1 goal. Instead quality must be #1 since the cost of a mistake especially with security of its products impacts more people than any other software company on the planet. Customers just demand and expect more from Microsoft than any other software company.

      Microsoft is a great place to work

      Senior operations engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The culture at Microsoft is very accepting and diverse. Microsoft also seems to be genuinely interested in the welfare of their employees. The medical plan is great and there are SO many communities in Microsoft you can belong to. They have pool tables, ping pong, volleyball courts, foosball and they give you free membership to one of the best sports clubs. There is also free soda and starbucks machines in every building in the campus. Microsoft always encourages the use of cutting edge technology and is constantly pushing every department to upgrade to the latest and greatest tools of the trade.

      Cons

      If you are a vendor or a contingent staff, you're not treated very well. I also don't particularly like the cafeteria program. I feel they are too expensive and sub-standard quality food.

      Opportunities Galore!

      Program manager

      Pros

      Due to the size and breadth of the business, there is always a new experience to be had. There are so many opportunities to work in support, sales, product development, research, marketing, the list goes on and on. You are allowed to look for new opportunities or position after one year in your current role, so it is nearly impossible to get bored. The benefit package is amazing, by far the best this reviewer has ever experienced.

      Cons

      If you work on campus in Redmond, the commute can be very nasty if you are living in Seattle or further south (like Renton/Tacoma).
