Pros

Unimaginable resources both in knowledge bases, employees, software, and support Microsoft is like dozens of companies within a company, so there is always opportunity to expand a career without moving to another company There are jobs and roles for just about anyone involved in software

Cons

Review process can be a pain as it is on a forced curve. Someone always gets the bottom 7%. On the upside this in theory improves the employee base but it also adds some stressful competitive elements Like any large company, politics are unavoidable and must be navigated and handled with care Experience varies wildly within the company, can be in amazing group or nightmare group, but there is always mobility if reviews are good

Pros

The people at Microsoft are competent and many are dedicated and enthusiastic about what they do. It's a pleasure to work there and does not easily become boring or mundane.

Cons

Tasks are split far apart horizontally throughout the organization - hard to avoid with such a large organization. Not many downsides here, really.

Pros

Microsoft is such a terrific place to work. I love the environment that I work in. Everyone is so positive.

Cons

I am not really sure if there are any downsides to this company as of right now. It would be great if the current healthcare policy could be extended for a bit longer time.
