Pros

Great pay. Smart people. Wonderful benefits package. If you like code, this is a great place to be. The people here are very nice.

Cons

It just wasn't for me. If you are a young college grad, be warned: The people here are older, and ultimately, the stereotype is true – Microsoft is a bit corporate and stuffy. Also, the developer technology there wasn't that great. Other than Visual Studio, development tools are not that up to snuff.

Advice to Management

There needs to be a fundamental change to the environment at Microsoft. It really is very corporate and stuffy, and I don't know if it is able to change.
