Pros

Health benefits are still above average. Many different products and projects that makes easy to change focus without moving to another company. Good resources for career development if you find time.

Cons

Work/life balance at Microsoft is becoming a myth. You work for a company that always follow the innovative competitors. Innovation is not in Microsoft's blood. It is customer oriented company with long development cycles. Any innovation in a product becomes history before the product is released. I believe this also affects the stock price.
