      Pros

      Microsoft is a place where you are surrounded by smart people, and you get to be a part of developing products that will make the world a better place. I feel very proud to be part of a company the is striving to the best.

      Cons

      Hmmm. . . . it can be kind of hard to navigate in such a large company, so getting to know people outside of your group is key. This will also help you figure out how to get things done, so building relationships and networking within Microsoft is important.

      Pros

      Microsoft is on the leading edge of technology. You can work there and learn about technologies that won't roll out for a couple years, so you are going to be ahead your skill compared to the rest of the industry. It's a large enough company to allow for specialization and has job functions that don't exist elsewhere, especially in product documentation. The people are smart, competent and sharp. There's lots of opportunities for career growth and role exploration once you are an employee. You can have a completely different job every 2 years if you want to and you work at it.

      Cons

      Microsoft is a big company and has all the problems associated with that. Recognition for your work can be difficult when you are a cog in a very big wheel. Specialization can also be a bummer if you like to wear a lot of different hats.
