Pros

You have an opportunity to move around the company, picking whatever division interests you, as your passions change. Very stable company; never, ever had layoffs. Amazing benefits: best medical insurance in the industry; membership in the largest sports club; Connector service picks you up from near your house and takes you to the campus.

Cons

Curve-based review system that does not allow for a team of "stars" to be recognized - and does not kick out a team of "losers". Well-entrenched "old boys club", especially in cash cow organizations like Windows and Office. Many teams cultures encourage "work-life balance" (a-la IBM) instead of working your butt off for great rewards.

Pros

I enjoy the people I work with and the challenging environment. There is never a dull moment and always something new coming at you... usually at the speed of a VP escalation.

Cons

The decision process has become so convoluted that getting anything done becomes impossible. There are too many conflicting agendas across groups preventing truly amazing things from happening with the level of knowledge that is employed at Microsoft.
