Pros

Microsoft cares for you and wants you to be successful

Cons

Sometimes your peers are better at doing politics vs programming which is unfortunate but I guess any place with this many number of people is bound to have this.

Pros

Pro-customer focus, competitiveness, excellent ability to develop young talent. Highly maternal/paternal, socialistic style of caring for employees.

Cons

Ruthless politics once on a dev lead level; cross divisional animosity; curious inability to hammer out a reasonably fair comp/ranking and rating system.
