Pros

Good Atmosphere, fair compensation, good management, work hours are decent. I think the best reason to work here is a good stable atmosphere, tech innovation but grounded in business realities.

Cons

Corporate hierarchy, Weather in redmond sucks when one has to be there.

Pros

Smart People, and not just smart in coding, but smart overall. Also, for a company Microsoft's size, they still tend to occasionally turn out above average products. I would also comment that the compensation was the market price. It is a good place to write code. Support staff, atleast in the Microsoft Hyderabad (india) office where I worked was very bad. They would keep creating problems for me.

Cons

Very insular. Difficulty in communication with management, and occasionally co-workers. Also, lot of dead weight (or so it seemed) with people slacking off. Microsoft is not what it used to be, although there are still some smart people around.

Pros

If you don’t mind to work at a place with bureaucracy, average paying, above average benefits, mind numbing task, very political manager, then this is the place for you.

Cons

At msft you can be easily pigeonhole to a single element of a particular task. All the managers are constantly position themselves to be on top of others. Most don’t care about the people doing the real engineering work. From the stock price for the last 8 years, people can see what Wall Street is thinking about msft.
