Pros

Excellent benefits, low-stress. Great people, managers are typically good at managing teams. Depending on the manager, you can get good recognition if you go out of the way to contribute more than what is expected (and what is expected is actually very basic).

Cons

If you're looking for something exciting and cutting-edge, Microsoft is probably not the place. Its a big company with a defined heirarchy and it can be hard feel like you're making an innovative contribution - management for the most part is looking for, and expecting, code monkeys.

Pros

Good salaries and benefits. You know your products will be important in the market place.

Cons

Too much heirarchy. There are a lot of talented people but the management doesn't give enough opportunities for them to shine.
