Employment status: current

Great company to work for, depending on what team you end up on
Pros: - Cutting edge technology
- Very smart people
- Fame
- Benefits (through end of 2012)
- Learning and growth opportunities
Cons: - Some teams value quantity over quality - be careful where you end up
- Benefits are going away - many tend to think Microsoft is the only employer with good insurance coverage; this is not true, as many others offer insurance with no copays or deductibles
- Food is unhealthy (calories, fat, sodium, etc.) and expensive at our cafeterias (minor exception in the Commons)
- SDET staff tend to stagnate in their level longer than other roles
