Pros

Good Place To Work with plenty of training opportunities. Friendly and smart people everywhere but misses the thrill of a start-up community. Fairs in which people present new ideas are a fantastic place to get seen even from people higher up.

Cons

You can easily get drawn into the Microsoft bubble with the only products and methods you know being in-house. Management decisions are top-down and can be in-transparent (not the place to feel self-empowered).

Pros

1. Great environment to work with lot of flexibility around working hours. 2. If you are in a right team you get chance to work on lot of new and cool stuff. 3. You can easily switch teams within Microsoft if you get bored with current work or team. You can work in different technologies.

Cons

1. Some MS products are in maintenance mode and if you are stuck in those teams there is not much to learn. 2. Management has lot of old guys with 20+ experience who are not adding much value to the company but are holding top posts. 3. Some products do not have clear future road map and they get shut down before reaching the customers.
