      Pros

      Working with the latest technology and mature development practices is probably the biggest career draw. It doesn't hurt to have MS on your resume since everyone in the industrialized world has heard of the company and associates it with success.

      Cons

      The company has gotten so large - and is growing head count at a break-neck pace - it can be overwhelming at times to feel you will progress very far in terms of management level and visibility. The company still tries to maintain some sense of its entreprenurial startup persona, but the best most can hope for these days after 10-15 years is to be a glorified version of your present position.

      Pros

      Benefits! Challenging, fast-paced work, TONS of opportunities for professional growth. Great people. Knowing you're making a different in the industry.

      Cons

      It's in Redmond, which is a really lame area in general. Of course, they've made it very easy to commute from Seattle. :)

      Pros

      The pay is great here at Microsoft. And at Redmond you really get to see a lot. The best thing about a corporation like Microsoft is that there're a lot of things, from hardware to software to research, from productivity to OS to gaming, from the sales to product management. IT's a great place to start fi you haven't figured out exactly which route you wanna go.

      Cons

      There's high stress working at microsoft..... management are used to grilling workers at meetings until they admit they don't know what they're doing, and kick them back to work twice as hard. There're not many team get-togethers. I'd like some more and that definitely would boosts our morale.
