Pros

Microsoft gives you access to Billions of customers. This is something most companies can't even dream of offering. If you're the kind of person that likes to see impact, then Microsoft is probably the best place to work. The people are wonderful and the campus is beautiful. Moreover the work culture is very casual. I used to walk into work at 1pm sometimes, Microsoft isnt face-time driven and your schedule is given a lot of importance, all you have to do is meet your deadlines. Microsoft gives you access to the most customers and to the best exit opportunities in the industry.

Cons

The management can get a little beaureacratic from time to time.

Pros

There is no better workplace in the world of High Tech companies to achieve Accomplishment, Challenge, Stability, Experience, Flexibility. 1. Achieve accomplishment because you know that the products and services you build will most likely impact millions of people all over the world. This is a very powerful reason to wake up and come to work every morning. 2. Challenge yourself to be as good as you can be to contribute to a team with some of the best minds in the industry. 3. Develop a work and life balance that is not possible in most of the startup and smaller companies who expect your long term family and personal priorities be sacrificed for their short term gain. 4. Gain invaluable experience and discipline in building world-class software. This experience alone will make you a much complete professional and can be transfered to other places. 5. Flexibility and choice on the type of work, the specific project and the way of working that best matches your own interests and skills. Not to mention unlimited training opportunities, flexible work hours and balance of work and life priorities.

Cons

Lack of good "people managers", Troublesome process to recognize and award achievements, LAck of cross-group collaboration.
