Pros

Safe and a nice place to work. Good for people with families who don't want to stay at work all day.

Cons

Microsoft owns the end to end stack. When you look for jobs elsewhere all your tech experience is useless.

Pros

reasonable stable place. nice benefits. if you don't like the team, or simply got tired of the same old routine/technology/building - generally not too hard to find a different one to work for. free drinks.

Cons

no upside for the stock. your growth depends on your manager(s) and the team you're on, less on yourself. Unlike some others, no free food. free sodas (bad for health). Cafe food quality really not that great.
