Pros

Microsoft gives one the opportunity to work with brilliant people and has many diverse areas to create new technologies used by millions around the world.

Cons

Mid-level management roles are given out without sufficient training, meaning that political positioning often wins over individual contributions, and cross-team collaboration continues to be under appreciated.

Interesting problems, autonomy to work, work actually used to inform decisions/influence business, lots of career movement possible, good compensation

Cons

Learning curve can be difficult (especially due to over-usage of acronyms), huge orgs can result in reinvention of the wheel if lines of communication are not good.
