Pros

Microsoft really takes care of their employees and there are certainly opportunities for advancement in a wide variety of fields

Cons

If you're in a group with a bunch of high performers, you'll lose promotion velocity unless you're able to get the lion's share of high visibility work. Feature creep and politics make development frustrating at times.

Work/Life balance is very variable throughout the company, I have friends from various teams, some are working twice the others and not appreciated well enough for their work. It all depends on the team.
