Pros

You get to work with some of the smartest people around. You get to play with some of the latest technologies. You get to work in some really good environments. You get your own office. Your working on products with long term strategies.

Cons

Have to deal with a lot of politics where often times the person doing the hard work doesn't get the credit he or she deserves. You're in a massive company, with labrynthine org charts. Sometimes a very cool idea gets shot down by legal. These ideas may not be shot down in other companies but since Microsoft has been burned badly by the antitrust case, they're extra careful.
