Microsoft Would Do Better If it Would Invest in Test
Pros: Microsoft makes some of the most widely shipped software in the world. If you would love to see your work pushed to the entire world, Microsoft is the place to go.
Cons: Because Microsoft pushes software to the entire world, backwards compatibility can be incredibly difficult. In addition, the skill and ingenuity and time-investment required to ensure software is well tested means that SDETs are often under huge amounts of pressure without the proper level of reward given the difficulty of their job.
