Pros

Huge company with lots of oprotunities for growth. What other software company has the breadth of problems to solve.

Cons

Shipping complex software with as much out of the box as Microsoft does means long ship cycles for the bulk of the company. It can be a bit dull working on the same project for 3+ years.

Pros

High performance culture. Merit-based. Basically, if you work only two hours a day, but are a performance monster, you are pretty much okay. Though technically, anyone like that at Microsoft would work 24 hrs/day just because they want to. It's a very fun place to work though.

Cons

If things have to get done, then they have to get done. If that means 20 hrs a day, then that's what it means. Also, some Microsoft employees are overly proud of working at Microsoft.
