Pros

The variety of teams available in the same campus really makes Microsoft into a goldmine of opportunities. Landing on a good team can make going to work feel like just hanging out. Work/life balance is excellent compared to other companies trying to make the office a 2nd home.

Cons

Aging technologies and work flows. Politics is a necessary game to get promoted past Senior.

Pros

Great Employer that really looks out for it's employees. Access to everything you need on Campus. Great people in lead roles that take the time to listen to the people working with them.

Cons

As I left we had transitioned to strange team structure that made it difficult to figure out what you would be working on in the next product cycle. Location in Redmond is great for people with families, but not so much if you happen to be younger and single.
