      Pros

      Microsoft is a great company to learn new tech, associate with some of the most intelligent folks in the industry and choose from a number of disciplines. It fosters a challenging environment where people have unlimited potential to grow in their careers. In last few years the company has done a great job to improve employee work-life balance. The review process has also been made more transparent which gives you an opportunity to have open discussion about your career with the management. Apart from all these, MS offers great benefits.

      Cons

      Microsoft has become a large organization and that has brought tons of unnecessary process overhead.

      Pros

      The best people to work with and a great environment. Can get to work on the products which impacts millions and that motivates you a lot Good benefits in the industry. Lots of extra curricular activities and parties in the campus and you should manage to enjoy them beside having heavy load of work

      Cons

      Recognition for the work done Hectic work though you have flexi timing Getting into it is pretty difficult as you a one of the pool of masses and have hopes only if you are from one of the top Universities and posses good CGP. Should be more flexible in hiring

      Pros

      New and challenging work. Technology keeps changing as products get released and new work come in. Working on the future most of the time. Excellent environment to work in. Flexible timings and nobody minds what you do with your time as long as you get things done. Leads and Managers are highly capable and have intimate knowledge of the work their team is doing. Test teams do a good job in ensuring the quality of the product. The amount of code written is huge and most of the times surpass the amount of development code in the product. PM, SDE, and SDET work in harmony and respect each other's roles and work done and I have never seen finger pointing any time during my stay here. I have my own office and brilliant machines to work with along with a very friendly group of people around me. What more do I want?

      Cons

      There is no real downside to this company. A few issues that I have heard are that some groups are very big and promotions and bonuses are not as per expectations. A few groups like Windows and Office have a lot of money while the latest upcoming groups might not have as much capital before the release of their products. Another issue that has cropped up lately is the quality of people being hired at Microsoft. It used to be that the very best get in, but I have seen a few people who have someone got a job when they are not suited to work for Microsoft, the main reason might be the hiring spree that Microsoft had a few months back.
