Pros

Relatively lay back working hours. People are usually nice. But I heard this really depends on teams. I have friends in some teams that have brutal hours, but their teams generally get more opportunities for promotion. So I think this is fair.

Cons

Stack ranking in the annual review process is brutal. No matter what, they will pick 20% of employees to give bad ratings for.

Pros

Get a chance to work with really bright people and learn a lot. Microsoft has a complete stack of technologies, so opportunities abound.

Cons

Highly competitive atmosphere (not necessarily a con). The company could be quicker in its development processes, but there is an air of improvement.
