Pros

You have immense resources and your work can have an impact on literally billions of people. The benefits are great and the pay is more than competitive.

Cons

The many layers of management and the size of the company can make getting things done difficult and time consuming. When you work for a company that has over 90,000 employees and over a billion customers your impact can be huge which requires great care and therefore you spend more than half of your time planning rather than executing.

Pros

After having been here for ~12 years, I would say the best reasons to work at MSFT are: great co-workers; benefits; amazing products and accomplishments;

Cons

Getting too big; too much competition and duplication of efforts between teams; some not-so-amazing products and accomplishments

Pros

The ability to move around within the same company to different product groups and roles is unmatched in the industry.

Cons

The size of the company makes intergroup communication difficult, oftentimes there are multiple teams working on the same project without knowing what other groups are working on. There are also issues between product integration because of the current organizational structure.
