Pros

Career advancement opportunities are good. Microsoft is dedicated to a corporate culture that inspires and rewards its employees.

Cons

Overall bad reputation in the industry in terms of being a monopoly. Not everyone you meet will share the same views of Microsoft as you.

Pros

chance to make money from stock options. at least this used to be true - I left in 2000 at the height of the dot com boom.

Cons

people seemed utterly unethical there to me. i've never worked with so many liars before. the air just reeked of insincerity. there also didn't seem to be much vision there, people were so heads down about drilling into their problem domains that they gave short shrift to larger issues. i personally filed a bug that ms exchange needed protection against e-mailed viruses, only to have the issue blown off by management. that was a poor choice, MS.
