      Pros

      You will see really motivated people who will motivate you to push yourself. Will learn many new things, and really the learning never ends. You will notice that people who work here are people with high integrity and know how to treat another person with respect and are thorough professionals.

      Cons

      A company of the size of Microsoft has very different challenges. One of the biggest challenge is collaboration to get your work done. Also, it is very hard to not write code that has been already written. Also, there are one too many re-orgs at the leadership level.

      Great company to work for

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very motivated people to work it. You can expect to find people with high integrity and people who respect each other, and be very professional. There are so many aspects to the business, a person can experience almost every industry by just moving from one team to another within the company.

      Cons

      Microsoft is a really big company and one does face different kind of challenges than other companies. One of them mainly is collaboration. Also, there could be one too many org-changes in the leadership. Training is adequate but sometimes there is not enough experimentation.
