Pluspunten

Flexible schedule when you don't have to be in meetings. The company has amazing PR and capital investments departments. You get to work with very large corporate clients - it's very good soft-skill experience.

Minpunten

You're expected to work more than 60 hours a week in most cases and may be asked to work out of country on a weekly basis from the start. (I was) Microsoft culture abuses new employees' lack of knowledge about corporate culture. The culture lacks a modicum of adult self-awareness and doesn't realize that it's internal culture is a lot more like a high-school clique than, say, IBM, or Google. Toxic-male misogyny is normalized and female managers are groomed to emulate the worst behaviors of the male managers. Women in management attack and sabotage their female subordinates. Customers are treated with dismissive arrogance, as employees are. Teams composed of all technically skilled ethic minorities led by skill-less white people is common. Managers are empowered and do ignore employee requests for accommodations for mental illness requiring a "doctor's note" for mental illness accommodations. There is no focus on balancing life with work.

Pluspunten

1. If you love tech, this is a great place. No doubt you'll talk tech (mostly the MSFT stack) from enterprise to consumer - from PCs to phones to Xboxes - from datacenter to desktop. 2. What were GREAT benefits are now VERY GOOD (took a small step down) but still probably better than you'll find at 99% of large corporations. If you've got family - the value of the benefits is even higher. 401k match is nice. 3. Even with it's struggles MSFT is still a cash printing machine. This means if you can keep your nose clean and do reasonable work, you can have a stable job, pay your bills, feed your family, and not worry (too much) about layoffs. The stock you own likely won't tank, but probably won't go up much either. You'll get a bonus each year and some stock. It's a decent life if you aren't looking to light the world on fire.

Minpunten

Brand on Your Resume: After many years of losing market share and struggling to be at the front end of innovation and the fact that there's 90,000 employees, don't think MSFT is necessarily going to be attractive on your resume to more agile and smaller companies. Managing Your Career: Make you say this out loud so it registers - 90,000 employees work there. Double that for vendors. It is VERY hard to "stand out" and move up in the company. Don't expect your manager to be much of an advocate or enabler to help you meet your career goals - they are basically trying to survive the stack rank every year too. Not familiar with the stack rank? Check out the 2012 Vanity Fair article called "Microsoft's Lost Decade".
