      Pros

      You have the opportunity to make an impact on the world stage along side some of the best and the brightest from all over the world. Microsoft takes an active interest in developing its employees and their compensation and benefits are top-notch. Microsoft listens to its employees. The programs and benefits it offers are constantly changing in reponse to that feedback. Finally, its a company with a very diverse product line that is always moving into new areas so it's possible to make big career changes without needing to start over with a new company.

      Cons

      Its a huge company and despite its constant financial success its stock price is stagnant. Its not for the get-rich-quick crowd. It can be a bit demoralizing to not be able to read the tech news without finding some article demonizing Microsoft for one thing or another. Microsoft is making huge strides in improving its reputation, but it still has a long way to go. You need to develop a thick skin for dealing with outspoken anti-Microsoft zealots.

      Pros

      If you work in Redmond, the career opportunities or great. It rewards success, and the people are fun for the most part. Benefits are great and if you are women and/or mom, there is a lot of support with most management.

      Cons

      Very large company and trying to do it all. Sometimes we get lost and forget we need to do things WELL rather than do everything. Sales is spread way to thin and this should be recongnized as our bread and butter. Sales has the majority of touch with people who buy our licenses so the partner led model can be challenging for a true salesperson.
