Pros

Trusted to do work on your own time with flexibility for good work life balance. Wealth of internal tools and education to help further your career opportunities in or out of the company.

Cons

Politics. Sometimes people seem out for themselves in the battle between disciplines. Waffling review system. Health benefits have degraded with conversion to HSA. Right hand never seems to know what the left hand is doing.

Pros

Microsoft has unbelievable infrastructure and support to help you get your job done. The people who work here are very smart and passionate. Great pay and benefits.

Cons

Upper management is generally promoted from within and does not keep up on industry standards. Culture of doing things the "old way" and reinventing the wheel over and over stifles creativity and agility.
