      Microsoft is all about access (no pun intended)

      Pros

      Microsoft gives you access to Billions of customers. This is something most companies can't even dream of offering. If you're the kind of person that likes to see impact, then Microsoft is probably the best place to work. The people are wonderful and the campus is beautiful. Moreover the work culture is very casual. I used to walk into work at 1pm sometimes, Microsoft isnt face-time driven and your schedule is given a lot of importance, all you have to do is meet your deadlines. Microsoft gives you access to the most customers and to the best exit opportunities in the industry.

      Cons

      The management can get a little beaureacratic from time to time.

      Microsoft is and will remain the place to be for high tech professionals that want to make a difference.

      Pros

      There is no better workplace in the world of High Tech companies to achieve Accomplishment, Challenge, Stability, Experience, Flexibility. 1. Achieve accomplishment because you know that the products and services you build will most likely impact millions of people all over the world. This is a very powerful reason to wake up and come to work every morning. 2. Challenge yourself to be as good as you can be to contribute to a team with some of the best minds in the industry. 3. Develop a work and life balance that is not possible in most of the startup and smaller companies who expect your long term family and personal priorities be sacrificed for their short term gain. 4. Gain invaluable experience and discipline in building world-class software. This experience alone will make you a much complete professional and can be transfered to other places. 5. Flexibility and choice on the type of work, the specific project and the way of working that best matches your own interests and skills. Not to mention unlimited training opportunities, flexible work hours and balance of work and life priorities.

      Cons

      Lack of good "people managers", Troublesome process to recognize and award achievements, LAck of cross-group collaboration.

      A great company!

      Pros

      You are valued, your input matters. They encourage individual thinking and ideas. People listen, the benefits are great, you work highly intelligent people. Its a great experience. I love going to work every day. Its exciting to see all the new products being developed and then their launch parties. Havign access to EVERYONE is awesome, when I find a bug I am able to report it and get it fixed. If I think something is wierd about a program I can get in touch with the person in charge of that feature and let him know my thoughts. It's excellent.

      Cons

      You can sometimes get into working some crazy hours that throw the work life balance out of whack. You are working for the giant. There are a few bad eggs, but that is likely at all companies.
