Pros

The culture, the energy, the teamwork. I've worked for many companies over my 20 year career. They all have buzz-word laden catch phrases to which they just pay lip service until the profit motive overrides them. MS is different. You feel it genuinely practices what it preaches because it realises that sacrificing some pennies today to do the right thing pays dividends over the long term. And it all comes from the very top - this is how you do leadership by example.

Cons

Still relatively new to MS so this may be unfair but technical career path/ladder isn't clear.

Pros

Empowered to deliver change within your role and with your customers. Great people to work with and autonomy to manage your own time and workload.

Cons

Change is not always joined up in such a large organisation so that the direction of different business units can be competing. Management is doing better at rationalising this but still more work to do.

Pros

Great company with a lot of great people, and the luxury to invest in visions.

Cons

Big and sometimes very bureaucratic. Very afraid it cannot shake the reputation, aquired in the 90's and early 2000's of being evil.
