Too big to survive

Pros

1. There are some very smart people you want to be around. 2. Sometimes you get to work on interesting things

Cons

1. Stack-ranking is a disaster: a pseudo-science at work affecting many 2. Lot of people approach their job similarly to politicians with one goal in mind--higher position, more money, more visibility. It is more important for others to be know who you are, as opposed to, whether you actually accomplished something. 3. Wisdom flows down from above, for example, bet the company on cloud

Microsoft is a great company to start your career in - salaries are good, the work is interesting and colleagues are smart.

It is not that simple to filter out any particular thing which could be characterized as a serious downside to employment at Microsoft.
