      It's 2009. The golden days of M$ have passed. Looking at MSFT stock price, you will know what I meant.

      Pros

      Excellent place if you a star coder & game player. Microsoft loves super smart coder. If you can code 12 hrs without stop, Microsoft is still willing to pay big bucks for you.

      Cons

      If you want promotion, work/life balance is very hard to maintain. Opaque and inhuman review process.

      Great For Type A Leaders, awful for engineers who want to just be engineers

      Pros

      Great health plan and other perks, you get to work on very high profile projects, flexible working hours (somewhat), great company store

      Cons

      Lose your soul, non-aggressive people are pummeled to a pulp, risk losing your family, risk losing your mental health, suprisingly large number of my peers are on depression and/or anxiety meds caused by work stress. My psychiatrist noted an enormous portion of her clients are from Microsoft and she has become quite familiar with the issues.

      Pros

      Extremely good benefits Access to internal resources for help and technology and future software versions Lots of career development directions and options Can transfer internally to wide variety of teams working on different products (sort of like a job change, but without losing your seniority) Capable management and excellent financial and competitive position keeps company solid

      Cons

      Low level management communication and leadership ablitlity can vary a lot from team to team Company can be erratic about the investments it makes - projects or teams can be aquired or developed and then cancelled with limited concern for the investment or the people involved Can seem big/impersonal at times
