"Microsoft is an amazing company to work for. There is however a tremendous amount of pressure in the organization, but with that comes a higher salary. There is also a great deal of extra work to do out side of your day to day job. This adds on a great deal work to your work week. You need to do this additional work in order to promote yourself in the organization as it is large and the only way to move up is to get recognized. it's exciting, but very challenging and in my role travel is 100%."

Compensation is good but the perks are what push them over the edge. If you have the chance to experience it, it is worth it. The review process has changed which was the only down side but outside of that I had no complaints."
