Pros

Microsoft is a place where you will meet greate people and have enough resources for self-learning.

Cons

If you hate office politics and want fast promotions (1 promotion in less than 2 year), Microsoft is not a place where you want to work.

Pros

* You get to see how many world-class products are built * The salary and benefits are good enough that you don't worry about survival too much * Seattle is a great place to live

Cons

* Now that Bill Gates is gone, so has the passion * A lot of politics to deal with if you want career progression past goon-level * The salary and benefits are not the greatest anymore, and getting worse * People working there are depressed or manic, and it's contagious * Nothing you build today will be as cool as the stuff they used to make in their heyday
