Everything depends on how much your manager likes you

Redmond, Washington, United States
September 15, 2008
Pros: This is a place where you can literally find a huge range of products to work on: devices, enterprise software, web services, automotive, and of course Windows/Office.
Lots of smart people who are very passionate and motivated, with high energy. A great place to learn.
Benefits are great, especially the health benefits.
Cons: The company is now very big. If you're at a junior level, there's a good chance you'll drown in the crowd, or the competition will be intense. Managers have a lot of power over their directs. If your manager likes you, good things happen to you. If not, bad things happen to you.
