Pros

Definitely a lot of smart people working at Microsoft and tons of potential in terms of domains of influence.

Cons

no work life balance and kiss up and kick down culture. the bureaucracy becomes life sapping after a couple of years. the 8 layers of management have stifled all nimbleness the company ever had

Pros

There is a lot of different things to do here. If you're bored of one area, you'll be able to easily find very different software related work within the company.

Cons

There's far too much politics in this company for it to function well. What's worse is that because of this, the people who politic the most (who is also ones who do the least meaningful work) get promoted fasted and makes the company worse.
