Employment status: current

Depends on your team but overall pretty comfortable
Pros: - Great work life balance
- Great Pay/benefits
- Overall, pretty easy
Cons: My analogy for Microsoft is that it's like a carnivorous tropical pitcher plant. You come in and the pay is great, work life balance etc. But, over time you start to stagnate and work becomes this 9-5 thing you're comfortable doing but not really excited about. I think that about sums up 90% of the people here. 

Also, depends on your team but they really just stick you somewhere out of college. No matching based on skills really. Moreover, your manager can be all over. Compared to a startup, you just won't learn or grow as much. A lot of people who are 'comfortable' are here and like just sitting around. Not really any sense of urgency. Good if you have family and aren't ambitious about work and such. Not good if you're out of college and trying to grow.
