Pros

You get to work on things that everyone in the world including your friends and family use. If you are working hard and are excited about your project and customers you will be rewarded. Just like Google's 20% time if you are getting your work done you are encouraged to find "relevant" extra work that you get to choose and are rewarded greatly if you do.

Cons

Compared to Google it appears that Microsoft is too focused on making money. Microsoft management does not seem to inform employees of their long term vision and why a change in direction occurred and more importantly why they choose that direction as opposed to some of the other possibilities.

Pros

Benefits are great. Lots of smart people. Great opportunity to learn a lot of new things. Flexible working hours (usually).

Cons

Everything is too urgent. We're too busy being scared of Google to do anything really cool. Review system is too opaque.
