      No longer the Microsoft of old but the benefits are good

      Pros

      The benefits are amazing, there are very few out of pocket expenses. There are co-pays on dental and vision but you never have to pay a dime for your medical expenses.

      Cons

      The political atmosphere is highly charged. It is not an ideal place to work if you expect to get rewarded for simply working hard. You need to make yourself visible to management and fight for every prmotion and raise.

      Pros

      You have the ability to move anywhere in the company and they will pay you for full training if you would like it. Many benefits for working but also personal benefits like paying for your home internet and physical fitness plans.

      Cons

      Management unfortunately is not the brightest, this could be just the division that I work in. They play favorites and sometimes are more concerned with customer response rather than the support staffs needs.

      A great place to work, if you want to have a steady, good job to raise your family; but not very exciting.

      Pros

      Great people, widely-used products, great compensation package, job security. You can work your own hours. The people you work with are smart go-getters who will do what they promise. When you add up the stock grants, the bonus, the ESPP, the 401(k) and the superb health plan, there aren't many better places to work. If you're in your thirties or forties, and have a family to raise, Microsoft is for you. You'll have financial security and still get to see your kids grow up.

      Cons

      Slow-moving, bureaucratic company that is rapidly turning into IBM. Microsoft has forgotten how to produce great products, and the company doesn't begin to understand the 21st century marketplace. It's essentially surviving on the continuing profits from its Windows and Office glory days. The sort of people who work at Microsoft are the sort of people who crave stability and security, rather than creativity and challenges.
