Pros

Microsoft hires brilliant people, fosters a collaborative environment, and while you are at work, the workplace is very comfortable; to a certain level, they do value talent.

Cons

The difference between a contractor and full time employee creates a hostile environment between people. They treat their full time employees very well, however, take advantage of contractors

Pros

People are truly passionate about what they do and are proud of working in an culture that breeds a sense of purpose and real contribution. Managers are always willing to provide insight and feedback, and the leadership and camaraderie found on certain teams is inspiring. People work hard and play hard, and get the job done. Great place to be.

Cons

Because it's a Canadian subsidiary, might have to keep on your toes while waiting on future direction from corp, which can delay projects, etc.
