Pros

Great pay, perks, benefits, decent work-life balance, many smart people to work with, and the company is big, so you can move around to where you like it most. Learn a lot of things, make you a perfectionist quickly in software development. I met some of the very best managers and peers in my career.

Cons

Re-interviews when moving around the company. Some teams are good, others not. A lot of politics and shuffling as projects come and go. Company was not (2014) moving in good directions until Nadella became CEO.
