Pros

Smart people all around and good location

Cons

No work/life balance. If you do not belong to a certain culture, you will not be hired, or they will push you out if you are already in. It's become a very racist toxic environment Doing your job very well is not enough anymore.

Pros

Microsoft is a software giant since ages. Hence it has very high standards of software/code quality. The OS Core org is extremely competitive.

Cons

A massive giant. Things more slow here (although it has begin to change lately). To get something done, a lot of infrastructure/process hurdles needs to be crossed.
