Pros

Pay and benefits are excellent. You can work on some cool stuff that everyone uses. Lots of interesting things going on around Microsoft at all times.

Cons

Little creativity on the lower levels. Real innovation is hard to come by. Decisions are unclear and making changes takes forever. The Microsoft engineering process often gets in the way of delivering a strong product. Not much fun. Morale was almost always low.

Pros

There is a very good change that you can have healthy work/life balance. Good product teams are mature and have good developing process/plans which allows you to expect what is coming.

Cons

More difficult to get promotions as there are many senior employees. It is frustration sometimes because there are too many factors stopping the company from responding to the quick-changing and consumer-driving situations nowadays.
