Microsoft does not excite me anymore.
Pros: The access to a huge amount of resources (smart people, software, training, etc.).  The benefits are good as well.  Full coverage on health and dental benefits.  Free juice, pop, and other beverages.  There is a lot of history at the company and a chance to make a huge impact witih the hands on jobs.  This is something to be proud about.
Cons: The work life balance is horrible.  There is an unending amount of work to be completed and not enough time to comple it all.  This is very stressful.  I was recruited and told that I would be given a company mentor and not just a mentor on my team.  This along with other promises went unfulfilled.
