Pros

Good company, lots of opportunity to work on various things.

Cons

Not a great place to work if you are a non-minority male (including Asians as they are not considered minority). Managers are hinted to hire diversity candidates over talented non-diversity candidates.

Pros

Obviously, its the center of the world for Microsoft technology.

Cons

Management quality varies widely from team to team. Ranges from good leaders to criminally abusive managers.
