Pros

This is a company everybody knows. There's pride in tradition and culture of this company. i grew up with Microsoft products and always wondered about working for them. Compensation is pretty decent as a place right out of college and you do get a little awe struck as you are working inside the Microsoft branch.

Cons

The location is just too expensive for people coming right out of college to afford. Especially with the house price boom, I could only rent a small one bedroom apartment at the town. As far as leadership goes, there should be some more infrastructure in place for more open and innovative way for us to work together. Microsoft should not lose to Google of the world.

Pros

If you are in the right group, your work can end up being used by a lot of people! Many of the colleagues are very smart. The benefits are very good. Work-life balance can be maintained if you want.

Cons

The company is really big - some groups are not conducive to professional growth. If you have a friend working at Microsoft, ask him/her about your potential job before joining. There can be a lot of inter-group competition for the same product/idea. Some groups can be very political.
