Pros

The benefits are fantasitc. Time off and folks are smart.

Cons

It's very political. The people you know gets you promoted, not how hard you work. Suck up as much to your manager, you'll do very well in this company. Beer is good. My manager has a fridge full of it in his office.

Pros

The ability to move around within the same company to different product groups and roles is unmatched in the industry.

Cons

The size of the company makes intergroup communication difficult, oftentimes there are multiple teams working on the same project without knowing what other groups are working on. There are also issues between product integration because of the current organizational structure.

Pros

Working with the latest technology and mature development practices is probably the biggest career draw. It doesn't hurt to have MS on your resume since everyone in the industrialized world has heard of the company and associates it with success.

Cons

The company has gotten so large - and is growing head count at a break-neck pace - it can be overwhelming at times to feel you will progress very far in terms of management level and visibility. The company still tries to maintain some sense of its entreprenurial startup persona, but the best most can hope for these days after 10-15 years is to be a glorified version of your present position.
