Pros

There's definitely a high degree of mobility within divisions. If you get bored of doing something you can move around and try something new. Of course, the other benefits related to working in a leading software company apply as well.

Cons

A lot of cross-division battles.

Pros

Microosft provides tremendous career growth opportunities and does a great job investing in the employee's professional development. Your ability to grow your career is exceptional.

Cons

Like most software sales organizations, the Microsoft environment is highly stressful and competitive and evaluates performance based on relativity to peers.

Pros

1. Dealing with very smart people 2. Benefits are very good 3. Mature organization, with mid-management getting better 4. Lots of possibilities for lateral movement (Consumer, Commercial, Different Product Groups, Subsidiaries) 5.

Cons

1. Not exactly a "School" for people starting their careers 2. Very far from being a learning organization. mKeep repeating the same mistakes, over and over. 3. Sometimes smart people are arrogant and egocentric. This is reflected in most of the products and services, but specially in licensing. 4. Distant from reality, creating own gravity around itself
