Pros

Many opportunities across teams. Lots of flexibility. Advantages of working for a big company. Get to work with many talented people.

Cons

Its a very big company. Lots of competition. Can be slow moving at times. Sometimes working or collaboration between groups is not efficient.

Pros

Microsoft doesn't just build great tools, it builds entire platforms. No other company can do this anywhere near the degree that MS can. It's great knowing not just that I have the best tools in the industry, but that I'm part of a company that can do what no other can re. making computers useful for people.

Cons

Politics: people aren't looking to do the best job or learn the best practices, they're trying to look good for stack-ranking time at the end of the fiscal year. If you're an anglo-american male working for Microsoft, get used to being a persecuted minority (see "advice to senior management")
