Pros

- You have great coworkers to learn from - Good 401K and health benefits

Cons

- Company is cooling down technologically - Company is loosing significant amount of talent in mid level and senior bands, while is attracting mostly junior people - Being a very mature company, promotions are seldom - Work-life balance has vanished as the company is focused on Services - Salaries are not adequately indexed with inflation : after 6 years with Microsoft and 3 level up I received a less valuable compensation than a fresh employee out of school with less responsibilities and experience
