Routine brainteasers at Microsoft Research interview
Software Engineering • Former Employee

Pros: A smart group of people, a good place for a software engineer.
Cons: Mostly use C# and closed source.
5.0
Great and stable company
Software Engineering • Current Employee

Pros: It has great stability and many areas to which you can switch during your career. It also has many benefits.
Cons: The company is too huge, so you won't be able to make a lot of difference there. Since there's a reasonable amount of people on each team, things are changing.
But until now, it seems that there's not too much integration between completely different teams. It's hard to reuse what they did.

Great Culture, Variable Teams
Software Engineering • Former Employee
Redmond, Washington, United States
June 15, 2015
Pros: Good corporate culture.
Good compensation.
Good perks.
A 9-5 job. It might not be as fancy as other tech companies right now, but there are no crazy hours or expectation to stay long hours. The culture is relatively open as well.
Cons: Typical big company problems.
Difficult transparency to higher levels. Some decisions don't make sense to lower-level employees.
Experience can vary extremely between teams – hugely! I cannot emphasize this enough. One team may have a very strict, no-nonsense culture; another might be completely different.
