Good Company ? So is KGB.

Work at Microsoft is pleasant and rewarding and well paid.
Check Joel from www.joelonsoftware.com - he worked fo M$ and has something
to tell.

Now try the mental experiment : replace 'Microsoft' with 'KGB' .
Microsoft hires the best, you'll work with smart people like yourself,
your work will save other people lives, you may go see the whole world on company account, free drinks, free geek toys, free what-did-you-asked-for.
Dream job.
Some drawbacks - your interview to OSNews should go through PR department first.
Don't look into non-Microsoft people code too (no wonder MS talks about innovations - they have to, otherwise they get sued). Well, KGB doesn't have this limitation for sure, but KGB doesn't advertised its innovations neither.

KGB in Russia is a huge organization - think of combined FBI+CIA+ATF+NSA and it's not all. There are R&D facilities there too and people who work there don't involved in dirty stuff (at least directly).
