Pros

Microsoft may be one of the biggest companies in the world, but it has remained highly agile in the ever-changing world of AI. The company offers employees the ability to work on cutting-edge / emerging tech, while still retaining work-life balance.

Cons

Microsoft's strengths lie in building successful enterprise applications and tends to be weaker at innovation. If you want to invent new technologies that change the industry, working at a startup might be a better fit.
