Pros

Unlimited growth potential. Opportunity to work in in virtually any IT technology area and apply yourself to virtually any field or industry in any professional capacity, from consumer to enterprise to public sector to education.

Cons

It is now a very large organization that requires extensive collaboration skills to engage and accomplish your goals. There is a lot of institutional momentum, so new ideas must be vigorously championed to have a chance. There is a Redmond centricity that is not consistant with today's trend towards distrubuted development.

Pros

Pay is good, projects are interesting. I have worked with a lot of great individuals. Microsoft has a lot of cool projects (Xbox, Zune), which to me gives them a leg up over somewhere like Google or Amazon.

Cons

So far I have not been very impressed by management, who seem to be a bit lost and out of touch with the trenches. Overall I like working at Microsoft but mostly due to the people on my team that I work with, much more than the company.
