Pros

- Opportunity to work on any technology that you are interested in - Opportunity to grow vertically as well as horizontally (generalist) - Benefits - Corporate citizenship (MSFT encourages you to contribute to your cause in more than one ways) - Super smart and passionate people to work with

Cons

- Some groups are very bureaucratic - Certain lack of agility in getting things done (very subjective depends on which group you work on) - At times the criteria for promos is very fuzzy - Compensation as measured by base pay

Pros

Microsoft is on the cutting edge of technology, they build amazing software. It is very competitive as many other companies you either do it or you die trying.

Cons

Because of the hardcore culture of the team sometimes really good talent gets lost. It is very hard to move up the chains as the review process keep the targets moving year by year.
