Working at Microsoft
Pros: The paycheck was good. I started as an intern and when I got hired after the internship, my salary grew up to more than double, but from what I understood from my colleagues I was a bit under-payed, probably because I was a fresh graduate.
There are plenty of benefits, but they depend from headquarter to headquarter.
Cons: The management system is not a good one. Each year, a manager has to have from his team an over achiever and an under achiever, no matter what he has to have these two. And this builds competitivity between coworkers.
