    Microsoft Software Development Engineer In Test (SDET) in Redmond, WA:   (Current Employee)

    Pros

    1. Great benefits
    2. Working on products that is used by millions of people.
    3. Lots of options on what you want to work on.

    Cons

    1. Being a company with 60,000 plus employees, there is some bureaucracy seeping in.
    2. Difficult to bring about change.

    Advice to Senior Management

    1. Stop trying to force customers bundles of MS software, which don't even work togather well.
    2. Why is it that we make IE and it is the slowest browser on Windows? Takes longest to install and update.
