Pros

Huge company; tons of opportunity. This will enable you to make lateral moves. Great emphasis on work life balance. You great benefits - medical benefits are awesome . You can really make great use of that if you have family etc. Some great quality of trainings as well.

Cons

Huge place; many people competing for all the roles - lot of red tape. As someone also wrote in the review, many people have seen only company in their lifetime and their perspectives are very narrow. TO make it worse, most of them think that everyone else in the world is stupid.

Pros

Medical Benefits are outstanding. Have paid nothing out of pocket for me and wife for medical or prescription in all my years with Microsoft. The people at Microsoft are smart, fun and passionate. The company is investing and growing. The partnerships we have are outstanding. Customers like our business model and want us to continue driving business value for our customers.

Cons

Becoming the next IBM. Big company bureaucracy stifles innovation, and limits achievement. Stock price is stagnant. Compensation is ok; I've seen better in the workplace for comparable level of experience and skills.
