Pros

Lots of smart people. Lots of opportunities to grow within the company. Great benefits. Customer focus development. Great culture. Good compensation.

Cons

Several re-orgs in almost every group in Microsoft. Most of the times your manager will change every year. Things take time to get approval that slows down growth.

Pros

Microsoft has its hands in so many things that you can really do anything that you would want to here as an engineer. There are amazing people to learn from and the opportunity is huge.

Cons

You need to take control of your own work life balance. Otherwise, you will end up working much more than you want.

Pros

Microsoft pays well and offers good benefits, and there is a lot of prestige that comes with working at such a famous company.

Cons

Management is bloated and inefficient and at times you feel like a worker bee in a vast colony that doesn't pay attention to you.
