Pros

Great work life balance if you make it your priority. Beautiful campus buildings. $800 stay fit reembursement or gym membership benefit 50% match on 401k up to $9000

Cons

Some people don't like the long cloudy season in Redmond WA. Easy to feel the need to climb a ranking system for various reasons (pay, clout)

Pros

Israel's GDC is flourishing, there are amazing projects to contribute to, and there are tons of extremely capable people. I would highly recommend considering Microsoft as your employer.

Cons

I've heard that promotions and ranking-up could turn quite political at the high levels, but I guess you'll find that pretty much everywhere.
