Pros

Work life balance at Microsoft is emphasized. The work is challenging. There are smart people everywhere you look. You'll learn a time-tested system of engineering practices.

Cons

Upper management has yet to prove that they can adapt to the changing market. The company is getting older and less exciting than some of its competitors.
