Pros

- Excellent pay (salary+bonus+stocks) - A lot of tech knowledge in the company. - A great opportunity for learning. - Nadella has done a great job taking down MS's walls to Open Source

Cons

- Redmond is the center of MS's universe. - A big pyramid full of mid-level management. - Impossible to follow Agile and Scrum. Quite a few people stuck to obsolete corporate mentality. - A lot of bureaucracy.

Pros

A very high caliber group of people to work with and a very large breadth of possible projects to work on. Great rewards and benefits. Fairly easy to move laterally insides the company.

Cons

Sometimes the work load can effect the work / home life balance. The cost of living in the Redmond/Seattle area is pretty high, compared to the rest of the country.
