Pros

State of the art engineering practices. Highly skilled coworkers willing to share knowledge and techniques for developing software. Good benefits and salary.

Cons

Very high pressure environment. Recent changes have caused teamwork to be de-emphasized and practices to focus on individual work and achievement.

Pros

A lot of options/teams with wide spectrum of technologies and fields within the company. Good benefits. Good work/life balance, but totally depends on the team.

Cons

Too much politics. The hiring bar is not standard across teams at all. Switching teams in Microsoft feels like switching companies because of how different it can be (can be a positive or a negative point).
