Did not work for me
Pros: Great salary but nothing else
Cons: Good old boys and girls club.  You HAVE to be liked by everyone if you expect to last at MSFT.  You need to be constantly telling everyone how great you.  It's a "beauty contest" atmosphere where you always need to have portray how great you are.  Big drinking culture too.  Most company events havbe minimal food but unlimited drinks, so most people are wasted fairly quickly.  Management are doing their best not to get fired and as a result they do whatever they are told as it relates to hiring, firing and promotions.  I saw many firings where they told people "your job is in jeopardy" w/o giving actual specifics of what you did.  Once you hear that phrase, there is no turning back.  Meaning they want you out.  Many folks choose to stay and try to turn things around but MSFT will make your life miserable if you take that route.
