Pros

Very intelligent people to work with Management is very open in sharing information Industry flagship

Cons

Sweatshop and a grindhouse - A Dilbert like performance review system Very rigid promotion system - internal vertical promotions are very uncommon and rare. For instance if you're a developer its highly unlikely you'll become a developer lead. What would usually happen is you will be promoted salary wise for exceptional work and a manager would be hired externally or from another MS division It is expected that you would agree to a significant step back in your career. Most inidividual contributor positions (e.g. developers, testers, pms) used to be managers and/or small business owners.

good salary, benefit package, the working environment you can learn from other employees in the company there are plenty of resource inside that you can learn

Cons

the company is just too big for individuals to show their real talents, the job is good, the pay is good, but if you want to do something big, do it yourself
