      Pros

      microsoft offers great employee benefits and stability. microsoft has a strong foot print in many many industries, which leads to a good variety of industry and career options. it is a relatively stable environment, and management is usually competent.

      Cons

      like any company, you'll find that politics get in the way more than necessary. many mid level and senior managers are often doing whats best for themselves, and not too concerned with whats really best for the company. there is also too much cya - cover your ass, which leads to a slow, and hesitant army of workers.

      Pros

      The people challenge you. The projects have global impact. The benefits are unmatched. When you call anyone in any industry, they'll call you back. In some divisions you can enjoy the autonomy of an entrepreneur backed by the resources of a... well a Microsoft.

      Cons

      I spent 25% of my time trying to confirm that one of the other 50,000 employees wasn't working on the exact same project I was. I spent another 25% of my time using PowerPoint to convince execs that I should be allowed to do the job I was hired to do. I had 50% left to do email, meetings and the work I was hired to do - each of these three was a 40 hour work week so it required prioritization and expectation setting to have a life.
