Pros

Lots of smart folks doing a wide variety of things. Good chance to move from group to group and learn new things. Chance to learn how the best software development in the world is done.

Cons

Unless you are a Partner the company treats you like a commodity, and there are few partner positions available (a small % of the whole company are Partners).

All people are helpful. We create products that impact the world. During my 3-month internship, I learned more than one academic year in college.

No, I don't really think there's any downside.

Pros

Tons of product areas at this company so you can easily find the group which suits you the best. Xbox games, MSN, Windows, SQL, Visual Studio, Home Entertainment, Privacy/Security, Entertainment, Autos, Mobile, etc, etc. etc.... I've worked at Hewlett Packard, and Google, and have friends at IBM and Intel and nothing beats Microsoft in this regard.

Cons

You need to be in Redmond for maximum visibility within the company for promotions, and Redmond is COLD and RAINY all winter long... We seem to be growing a little too fast lately. 40,000 in Redmond is a bit too much.
