      In general MS is a great place to work, especially if already have a family and you need a stable job.

      Pros

      One of the best reason for working at Microsoft is that you get to use the latest Microsoft technologies. As a SDET you will have a resonponsibility to build tesing framework, which at some cases you will write more code than your developer peer. Heath benefit is awesome I haven't paid a dime for my health.

      Cons

      The compensation is not the greatest in the world. If you have a family the health benefit will compensate for it otherwise for sure you will find it that your peer at other company is making more money that you. Sometimes at work we have way too many meetings, which make it hard to get anything done. Some of the more senior testers are just pain not competent.

      Pros

      1) Best place to learn about new Microstf technologies hands-on. 2) Challenging but full-filling tasks. 3) Awesome benefits and perks. 4) Has a lot of resources and training support.

      Cons

      1) Some non-technical managers think that implementing the products (or certain features) is as easy as waving your magic wand. They aren't able to understand the complexity and multiple variables that may be involved in a very simple-looking feature and expect developers and testers to be able to pull it off and verify the quality in a snap. 2) Upper-level managers who are not familiar in depth with what goes on day-to-day in the "worker bee's" section are the ones who blindly make layoff decisions. 3) If you want to be successfull in this company you wont really be able to pull-off the expected work-life balance that is claimed.

      Pros

      - Very good benefits - Flexible work hours (actually depends on your manager) - MS is like a school, education support is really high

      Cons

      - In most of the groups, promotion is not based on performance. - Some HRs violates rules easily. - Since, in some groups, managers do not have good education degree, many IC suffers
