Pros

excellent medical insurance, all your family gets covered without penny out of your pocket. majority employee gets his own office.

Cons

too many directions, and lots of unnecessary competition among different divisions within the company. it might've been better off if microsoft were split into three during the antitrust suit.

Pros

Work with incredibly smart people, access to advanced technologies and know-how. Ability to create products and features used by literally billions of people worldwide, the ability to have large impact.

Cons

Lack of innovative culture, too many middle-aged people whose primary concerns are their family as opposed to creating the next killer app. No longer has the "we will change the world" mentality, has become a company whose primary purpose is to serve shareholders.

Pros

Great benefits - Drinks, Salary, Flex schedule, Tuition reinburse, Vast amount of books & training Lots of variety of work in Microsoft, and have opportunity to explore different areas.

Cons

The overall hierarchy, and politics that takes place every where and every time. The downside particular for MSIT for new hires is that the work is not as exciting and challenging, and you'll be left wondering a lot of times is it worth spending time here versus else where. However, It will be good for people that is interested in IT processes.
