Pros

Good benefits Reputed brand. Easier to get a job in it when compared to Yahoo, Google and Other Great Companies.

Cons

May not suite all kinds of people, Is not a place for geeks. In order to advance in microsoft an engineer would need 80% HR skills and 20% technical skills. Most of the people who work here are oblivious of the outside world and are still in same set of mind as it was 25 years ago. Creativity, out of box thinking, analytical thinking are neither encouraged nor valued.

Pros

good opportunity to learn how operating system works, how to write test cases, how to communicate with each other efficiently.

Cons

Microsoft as a big company gives each employee a small fixed work to do. So it is hard to learn much with single title.

Pros

Great, smart, friendly people, big company involved in many areas (a pro and a con), excellent benefits.

Cons

In the 10 years I've been at Microsoft, the company has more than doubled in size, bureacracy has increased by an order of magnitude, and many great engineers have left for better opportunities elsewhere. We're involved in EVERYTHING and screwing it up because due to the continuous over-promising and outright lying by mid-level execs to their managers. There are too many people wyo are not engineers working for this engineering company, and they are NOT the folks at the front who have accounted for virtually all of those laid off.
