Pros

Technical growth opportunities - You will work with some very smart people who have contributed a lot to some of the products that microsoft makes. Benefits package - One of the best, specially if you have a family

Cons

Typical big company disadvantages - You might find it difficult to grow in career after a certain point. Certain point here means 2-3 promotions after entry. Microsoft does not make it easy to promote people. Review system can be very unfiair in how employees are rated and rewarded.

Pros

Lots of great opportunities to work with smart, passionate people on projects that are cutting-edge within the technology arena. Rarely is there a shortage of resources, and that's super nice after working in cash-strapped start-ups in prior jobs.

Cons

It is a large company (90,000+) so things sometimes move a bit more slowly and when things do shift, it often means there is some sort of "re-org"... and reshuffling of people and resources.
