Pros

The benefits at Microsoft are fantastic and it is a great brand name to have on your resume. Also, there is the opportunity to move around to new businesses and new roles.

Cons

While there are many smart people at Microsoft, many unfortunately choose to concentrate on jockeying for position rather than ensuring that the company is winning. Even worse is that there are some managers who cultivate this and cloak themselves with cronies and yes-men. Also frustrating is the extremely matrixed nature of most groups.
