Pros

If you are in the right group, your work can end up being used by a lot of people! Many of the colleagues are very smart. The benefits are very good. Work-life balance can be maintained if you want.

Cons

The company is really big - some groups are not conducive to professional growth. If you have a friend working at Microsoft, ask him/her about your potential job before joining. There can be a lot of inter-group competition for the same product/idea. Some groups can be very political.

Pros

At Microsoft, you’ll get the best on-the-job training in the world, while enjoying a casual, flexible work environment where you can choose everything

Cons

Microsoft at Work was a short-lived effort promoted by Microsoft to tie together common business machinery, like fax machines and photocopiers, with a common communications protocol allowing control and status information to be shared with computers running Microsoft Windows. Similar efforts for other markets included Microsoft at Home and Cablesoft. By any measure these efforts were a dismal failure; it appears only a small number of devices using Microsoft at Work were ever released before disappearing without a trace. Microsoft has since re-used the "at Work" term for a section of their web site describing various tips and tricks for using Windows in a business environment.
