      Good place to work and learn

      Pros

      Anything and everything related to software exists here under one roof. Switiching disciplines and technologies is very common and encouraged. Work-life balance is excellent. You work with some of the most intelligent people on the planet.

      Cons

      Huge beaureacracy makes the company a slow mover

      Good place for the present, unsure about the future

      Business planning manager
      Recommend
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It is still one of the places where you can do the most impact - the facilities are great, the possibilities are boundless. Most people are very intelligent. The processes and policies are helpful and would work if the company wasn't so introspective. Sometimes, Microsoft competes excellently with other companies.

      Cons

      Middle management is disappointing - most of the middle managers are very incompetent and lazy. The review process gets in the way of innovation. The organization is very far from efficient, and there are several managers with just one or two employees, clearly a waste of resources. Some competing companies are way quicker than we are.

      Group specific experience

      Software development engineer

      Pros

      Great people to work with and interesting tasks. I was using a mix of software and hardware description languages to do my task and I think that is very rewarding. Also, my manager was very easy-to-approach and gave me good feedback based on my performance. Also, the benefits are decent.

      Cons

      The company's experience is very group-specific. If you don't pick you group carefully, you could easily end up in a group you don't like very much. Also, the company as a whole has very bad press-coverage. A day does not go by that I notice some headline somewhere saying something negative about Microsoft.
