Pros
There is no lack of resources at your disposal but the best part about working for Microsoft were the smart and passionate people that you got to work with everyday. The bar is still very high there. They are also doing many cool things in many different areas of technology. Many companies under 1 roof. But as with most companies, the higher up the chain you go, the more you need to be prepared with managing people, managers, budgets as opposed to building, executing, and innovating
Cons
The downside is the stock has gone nowhere in 10 years and there is little to no upside. Politics and management reviews can be taxing and fustrating. They also lead to a bloated, slow execution cycle that can be terribly fustrating.
