Pros

Stability, benefits, brilliant coworkers, a sense of pride, Seattle (a wonderful town), a competitive Type-A atmosphere, a heck of a soccer field, good (if not free) food.

Cons

Boss's bosses who don't understand the very products their underlings are making.

Pros

The power of a giant in the industry. Microsoft has been around for so many years, yet it has continued to grow and expand, into new product and service areas. Although with varying degree of success, there is no question the giant is a force to be recognized in almost every area that it chooses to enter.

Cons

Too big a machine and too many suits running too many shows. Having so many initiatives going on at any given time would certainly imply there are a lot of wasted effort that goes nowhere. Despite of the corporate resources, it is questionable the huge investment in research is really the way to invest in the future. The true startup model is a lot more competitivie.
