Pros

Their benefits are top of the line. Obamacare did have a negative impact on health insurance.

Cons

If you are an admin, you will be treated like crap and be on call 24/7. If you don't drink, that's also a problem because almost all social events eevolve around booze. Male hierarchy and culture makes it hard to advance.

Pros

Very flexible for work styles. Good paycheck with security for the company

Cons

A lot has changed in the last 9 years, when I signed in our benefits were unbelievable and now they aren't that bad but it takes a lot of work to maintain the hsa plan and now I have like 4k a year of out of pocket expenses which I did not receive a pay increase for. Also if you're not at the mother ship in Redmond it's not the same experience.

Pros

Perception of good benefits, Perception of some level of order & direction

Cons

Only some groups at Microsoft actually do work that drives the company forward. Most of the company seems to spend their time justifying their existence at Microsoft.
