Pros

Lots of smart & passionate engineers, tons of resources to learn and explore, probably the software/service company that takes tester most seriously, great benefits package

Cons

So-so base pay compared to the other top company, work-life balance fluctuates over time, some management people have no desire to take risk and hence reflected in the compensation/reward of the engineers

Pros

Great colleagues, interesting work. You are working for the company that drives the industry so it's interesting to be on the inside.

Cons

Microsoft Australia seems to have been overrun by IBM spivs. I couldn't be any less impressed with these people. The spirit of the place has gone down the toilet.

Pros

Pay is good. Benefits are outstanding. There are lots of opportunities to learn different technologies at Microsoft. You get your own office.

Cons

It's difficult to get promoted. Although they promote a work / life balance, you tend to have more work than a life.
