Pros

job security, world class benefits, plenty of other smart people, plenty of resources, lots of room to grow and park your car (Redmond)

Cons

Forced to work on platforms not because they're the best choice, but because it's MS. Slow to develop new solutions. In reactionary mode rather that pro-active innovation. Sure the research hub is huge, and hackathon is encouraging, but I don't remember much coming out of them. You'd have to finish the thing on your own time.

Pros

Good to have a taste of what a professional working environment is like. Great to ramp up your skill in software development.

Cons

There could be operational tasks and random things that might not interest you. Company is so big so the impact you make might seem small.

Pros

If you want to go up the ladder fast, you can do it. Provided you select the right team with the right people beforehand

Cons

Waterfall process and old technology and a distance from the new stuff happening in silicon valley makes it feel a little less techy
