Pros

The biggest pro of the place is the stability. Microsoft is not likely to run out of cash any time soon. Resources are usually not an issue either, though they are not well managed.

Cons

Review system is insanely difficult to navigate, and is based more on politics than actual performance Work / Life balance is non-existent, even though they claim it is there. Typical to work 60 - 80 hour weeks. Management claims that it's possible to have long career as just Individual Contributor, but it varies between groups

Pros

if every thing well around you , you will get a good bonus and salary

Cons

you don't learn or do too much as you are very busy on daily competition. The competition is not on innovation and deeper analysis. Employees are scared of trying new things as at the end what matters is not to have a failed project .
