Pros

Microsoft is a great company to work for. the pay is quite good in comparison with others (I guess it is better than the 65 percentile that HR claims), management allows for flexible hours, and the work environment is great.

Cons

A lot of politics, whether in the corporate HQ or in the field. Certain decisions seem to point towards lack of strategy and vision, and the stock plan nowadays sucks big time (should have dropped it completely and just offer additional cash compensation).

The job was very challenging as the MS Windows 8 is a very deep subject.
