Pros

As a software developer, one can always find interesting projects/technologies to work on. Although benefits have been cut a lot, it's still very competative compared to other companies.

Cons

Too much bureaucracy actually makes individual contributors less productive. Also, in past 10 years, the company has invested so much in mobile and search but the results are really unsatisfactory. Hope things will change little bit.

Pros

Safe and a nice place to work. Good for people with families who don't want to stay at work all day.

Cons

Microsoft owns the end to end stack. When you look for jobs elsewhere all your tech experience is useless.
