I've started writing posts about why I like working at Microsoft, but Steven Sinofsky gives a great [and fairly detailed] explanation of what the company has to offer in his opinion.  When you have 5-10 minutes hop over and read it (here).  Interesting stuff. 

 

I agree with all of his comments, but the big one for me has always been the first one: ''breadth of software you can work on."  If you've read my bio then you know that I started as a system administrator six years ago, became a systems engineer a few years later, dabbled in DBA work for awhile and am now neck-deep in development.  I can easily spend the next 30 years of my career at Microsoft and work on a new product or in a new group every few years without having to move my family, sacrifice vacation time, transfer my 401K or lose my performance record.  That means a lot to me!
