Pros

With 20 years at MS, I get 5 weeks vacation a year.

Cons

Politics. People do not interview for internal position opening like lead, they are given away based on who the dev manager 'likes', how long a person has worked on a specific team. I would think they would consider multiple candidates and choose the best qualified, but they don't, not for internal team opening.

Pros

Very nice green card policy. Good benefits.

Cons

Too many incompentent managers/leads who don't know how to stimulate people. Serious nepotism and office politics. More chance/reward is given to people only good at making show than to people contribute most but not so good at selling themselves.
