      Pros

      Look great on resume, so you can get a senior, manager, position on startups. Get much more money. A lot of smat people, and a lot of rains in Seattle, of course you must be the person who love rainings :)

      Cons

      Boring, since it's a big company with long history, I guess peope will loose motivation to develop themselves when working there. After only 1 year working with them, I already lost my motivation to work. And the traffic in Seattle is horrible, no public transports, you must use your car or you can walk, ah one more choice, you live next to the building.

      Pros

      Although huge, the part of Microsoft you work at is run like a small business. You will know your entire team and management. The work is challenging and used by millions of people. Compensation, especially benefits, are top notch.

      Cons

      Huge corporation, uncertain growth opportunities. Have to use Microsoft home-grown or acquired technology.

      Great place to work; but beware of the groups!

      Pros

      Salaries: The salaries are VERY competitive. This is common knowledge in the Seattle area. Unlike other companies, we are offered a salary that is hard to beat and they are willing to meet you halfway if they can when it comes to compensation. The Benefits: We pay absolutely NOTHING for healthcare, vision or dental... NOTHING... Our insurance is the best and we don't even have to pay co-pays or for medication... Furthermore, MSFT offers a Legal Plan to employees... It also pays for gym membership to the best gym in town Pro Sports Club. The Perks: Software and devices offered by MSFT can be purchased at the MSFT Store for super cheap. You also receive a Discount Card which has THE best discounts in all of Seattle. Imagine buy one entree and get the second free at the nicest restaurants in the city? This program applies to anything you can imagine - from restaurants to zoos/aquariums, plays, car purchases, spas, travel, you name it!

      Cons

      Hours, High Expectations on Deliverables. This isn't so bad when you consider the benefits and salary. You just need to learn how to balance.
