Pros

People (smart, engaged, hard-working), Opportunity (career growth, personal development, multiple businesses, defined career ladders), and Impact (your work will touch millions!)

Cons

All those hard-working people can get a bit frenzied. You need to be passionate about working for Microsoft AND be able to demonstrate it.
