Pros

Microsoft believes in its people and takes a clear stand on political issues relevant to its employees. The corporate philanthropy policies with matching gifts and volunteer time cash donations are exceptional and make me proud to work here.

Cons

Microsoft for years has been unable to shake its "uncool" reputation compared to Facebook, Google, and Apple. New synergies, visible in the metro UI standard being shared across products, is starting to bring the cool back to Microsoft.
