Fairly good company
Fairly good company
The good thing at Microsoft is that you can always find some group to work on things that you're interested in.
Front end, back end, services, client side, mobile, operating systems, compilers, etc. You name it.
Changing groups inside Microsoft is relatively easy if your performance is not too bad.
The base pay is OK and benefits are pretty good.
With a company of that size, it is pretty hard to make a real impact. Re-orgs happen at least once per year (but I think other companies do this as well). The total compensation (stock awards) is not as good as other competing companies.
