Pros

gain some experience on working with large scale software

Cons

unless you are really technically exceptional, technical skills won't help you too much in moving up the rank. it's the division/org/product where you are working and who you are working with that matters. i have been working with the developers titled with Principle or Senior that knows little, very incompetent in technical skills, etc,

Pros

Excellent place if you a star coder & game player. Microsoft loves super smart coder. If you can code 12 hrs without stop, Microsoft is still willing to pay big bucks for you.

Cons

If you want promotion, work/life balance is very hard to maintain. Opaque and inhuman review process.

Pros

Great health plan and other perks, you get to work on very high profile projects, flexible working hours (somewhat), great company store

Cons

Lose your soul, non-aggressive people are pummeled to a pulp, risk losing your family, risk losing your mental health, suprisingly large number of my peers are on depression and/or anxiety meds caused by work stress. My psychiatrist noted an enormous portion of her clients are from Microsoft and she has become quite familiar with the issues.
