Pros

Large company with a lot of smart employees. Easy to move within the company. I feel like Satya has really come in and changed the company for the better.

Cons

The traditional downsides of a large company - bureaucracy and being a small player in a very large company.

Pros

The work environment is changing for the better. Compensation and perks are good and comparable to Google and Facebook (sometimes higher, sometimes less, depending on when you come in), however stock is generally less.

Cons

No free food in the Redmond. Some areas still feel a bit corporate and there is a bit of management overhead. Working at Microsoft is still looked down upon by the competitors.
