Pros

Inclusive culture (race, sex, sexual orientation, personality). Good benefits for the industry.

Cons

You don't know what area you will work in when you accept the job offer. Depending on where you land, your work-life balance may be pretty bad. Little opportunities for learning and progress. Average compensation.

Pros

Microsoft was a great place to work. The number of smart people you work with every day is amazing.

Cons

It's a big company, and so dealing with competing priorities could sometimes be a challenge. But this is expected for any company of size.
