Pros

The opportunities that the company provides to move up and to move laterally. It also great to be working around new technologies that will make an impact in the world.

Cons

With such a large workforce there seems to be a class divide between contractors and employees in the organization. Also, there appears to be some issues with cohesiveness in the company. Groups doing their own thing pretty much.

Pros

Internal Microsoft documents obtained by WashTech News show that Microsoft salaries have been stagnant or nudged only slightly higher over the past two years. Comments from current and former employees about the company's compensation and performance review system suggest a growing level of frustration among rank-and-file workers

Cons

Too long hours and no social life

Pros

It's a great place for anyone who is passionate about technology. MS has such a wide variety of products - web, consumer products, developer products, desktop apps used by millions, etc. Very few companies provide such wide array of opportunities.

Cons

It's a large company - so like any other large company there are structures and processes that some might not like. It does vary from group to group. If you work in an established product like Windows/Office there are many processes to be followed, whereas if you work for an innovation group, it will be much more like a start up.
