Pros

High salary, good benefits, smart people

Cons

Redmond is the worst place on earth and so is the traffic that comes with it, they will never win, it's not actually as easy to move internally as they make it sound, company culture is vicious and unwelcoming, there is a perception problem that they probably won't ever be able to kick

Pros

- Free drinks - Reasonably good benefits (Although these are being eroded now) - Can attend training courses (If you ever find available time to do it)

Cons

- This is a burn and churn environment. The culture is one in which they want to work you 24x7 schedule and criticize or reprimand many on the most tiniest things. The repressive culture will erase any professional confidence you have over time.
