Very fast changing work environment
Pros: Microsoft has an excellent recognition and by working at Microsoft you get a chance to create great impact in the world through your contributions in the products. Many people use Microsoft as a launching stage for their next career aspirations. You learn a lot working with very smart people and you improve your abilities to manage change and adapt to big moves in short time.
Cons: Being a very fast moving environment is not always good. People move around from team to team and in and out of the company in an amazing rate which produces some stress in the work environment. Any product may be canceled any time and you get to have several different managers in a period of less than two years. You need to prove yourself again and again to the new management and they may or may not appreciate what your're doing.
