Pros

The work environment is changing for the better. Compensation and perks are good and comparable to Google and Facebook (sometimes higher, sometimes less, depending on when you come in), however stock is generally less.

Cons

No free food in the Redmond. Some areas still feel a bit corporate and there is a bit of management overhead. Working at Microsoft is still looked down upon by the competitors.
