Pros

good benefits. good salary. big company. lot of improvement to grow. lot of other opportunities to move around. blah blah blah blah blah blah

Cons

Lot of stress. Even the performance review system changed, the mindset of the managers never change. They always compare with the same level peers even if the peer has been doing development work since for ever and the other person has just come from SDET to development.

Pros

Great benefits, awesome transportation options, and (especially when I joined) a reasonable salary. There were also lots of interest groups that made it a fun place.

Cons

The company is really large. When I left Microsoft, there were 11 managers in-between me and the CEO, and I had gone through 2 reorgs.
