Pros

Great employer, benefits, work time flexibility is great. Some orgs have great opportunity to grow as an engineer

Cons

Horrible HR performance review model, drives employees (managers included) to focus on covering their asses rather than being encouraged to innovate. Senior management severely lacks vision and creativity.

Pros

There are many opportunities at Microsoft to work on wide range of products, from consumers oriented to enterprise products. Surrounded by a lot of smart people. Overall, people are willing to help others cross group without having to go through management. Good health benefits.

Cons

Performance review is not great, greatly depends on management 2 levels above of you which sometimes can be way out of touch so visibility is a key. For larger project, it takes great amount of time to get buy off from big committee.
