Microsoft reviews

The best reasons to work here are benefits, group mobility, and job safety. Microsoft by far has the best health care benefits compared to any other company. Switching between groups every 2-3 years is common and even encouraged which means you can change roles and projects on completely different products while still keeping your job. In contrast to the rest of the economy, Microsoft is secure place to work as long as you do your job.

You have the opportunity to work on some many different aspects of the industry: from OS, to Games, to Frameworks and hard core research. Microsoft also support extensively their employess and give no-non sense perk, like 100% family medical coverage, paternity/maternity leave and other cool benefits if you are a bit older than a recent college hire. If you are looking for massages and free food, you will not get them here, but you will have benefits that target a more mature audience (remember, Microsofties are in their late 30s and 40s now)
