      Distracted but impressive.

      Pros

      Most things in microsoft are quite pleasant. The biggest problem with Microsoft as with all large corporations is the deadwood that so often accumulates. Additionally managements current obssession with trying to by yahoo has distracted this company and devalued our own offerings. If we suck so badly at the internet, LAY THEM OFF. Form a personal perspective, the job of a program manager at microsoft is uniqu. Guiding a product from inception to a billion dollar industry can't really be done anywhere else in quite the same way. The leverage over human output is stunning (try working in Excel, Word, or Outlook).

      Cons

      The Commute, the Rain, the Rain and the Rain.

      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.

      Loving working in my team, but Microsoft as a whole is too big!

      Pros

      Enormous opportunity for career development in both depth and breadth. There are few sections of the tech industry that isn't touched by Microsoft. In the depth case, you can very often work with people who wrote the book on the subject.

      Cons

      It's big, that is a plus and minus. On the plus side, it is stable and not random, but things get done slower than they would at a startup. There are more opinions that count and more history to deal with.
