Pros

There are amazing healthcare benefits. I have never paid out of pocket for any medical expenses and I've had a baby along the way. We joke that our baby was "free". Kids just out of college have no idea how huge this health benefit is: free prescriptions, check-ups, self referrals to specialists. The company is stable for now and there are no worries about where your next paycheck is coming from. You get to work with amazingly smart people and take on difficult challenges. You are never bored and always feel challenged by your job and plenty to keep you busy.

Cons

The external reputation of the company is bad which can lead you to question why and how you can manage to work there if you only look at the outside picture. There are many cultures inside the company, some of them dysfunctional or with awful work-life balance. Just as in any big company there are egomaniacs and selfish types whose primary objective is to climb up the career ladder and make partner. The cafeteria food isn't that great and it isn't free like at Google. The company has to really make up time in the Internet space, even though IE caught up, the software as a service space is still there to figure out.

Pros

There are so many incredibly talented, smart people working at Microsoft, that I always struggle to contribute at the same level. I feel really privileged to be in the same room with the people responsible for solving the world's computing needs.

Cons

There is ALWAYS too much work that needs to be done, and the unfortunate result is everyone works too many hours.

Pros

You are valued, your input matters. They encourage individual thinking and ideas. People listen, the benefits are great, you work highly intelligent people. Its a great experience. I love going to work every day. Its exciting to see all the new products being developed and then their launch parties. Havign access to EVERYONE is awesome, when I find a bug I am able to report it and get it fixed. If I think something is wierd about a program I can get in touch with the person in charge of that feature and let him know my thoughts. It's excellent.

Cons

You can sometimes get into working some crazy hours that throw the work life balance out of whack. You are working for the giant. There are a few bad eggs, but that is likely at all companies.
