      Unfair, the manager just focus on who he liked but not the performance.

      Pros

      A good place to learn desktop based software and code. Good benefit, especially if you would like to have children during that period. I think they provide a very competible benefit, however the total income is just average, maybe below average.

      Cons

      Some managers have bad personalities and they just focus on their personal benefit but not employees and companys. The software development process is too traditional. Some teams try to improve but in the end they still use what they are familiar. The main reason is that there are so many old guys, who control the entire team and their future.

      It's a big company and will work for you if you can get on a high profile project.

      Pros

      It's a stable company with plenty of money so there is good job security relative to many other tech businesses. The company provides good benefits and HR seems to have a vested interest in improving those based on employee feedback. Pay is fair relative to other companies.

      Cons

      The company has a poor ethical reputation which is conferred on its employees. Being a large corporation, all decisions come down to pleasing stockholders rather than making employees satisfied. Also, engineering managers are frequently promoted to those positions based on their technical skills rather than their ability to manage people.

      Could be the right place for you if you're willing to play politics

      Pros

      If you land a job within a well-performing division with strong, consistent leadership, it couldn't be a better place to work. Overall, the company does an excellent job promoting work/life balance, is family-friendly, and one of the most diverse environments I've ever worked. Plus the benefits can't be beat.

      Cons

      Some managers are promoted simply because they've been occupying a chair for years, not necessarily because they should or want to be promoted. Microsoft needs to do a better job on assessing whether people are better as strong individuals as opposed to weak managers.
