Pros

Microsoft has great people: smart, motivated, fun to work with. Have no intentions of leaving for another company as the salary/benefits will be hard to beat.

Cons

Very political. You need to self promote yourself constantly in order to get a fair compenstaion ranking for promotion.

Pros

Depends on the groups you are working in, the environment could be very passionate and enthusiastic if you are working for some "core" products. Those DEV leads are very experienced and knowledgeable and keen to answer questions you have. The benefits here are great.

Cons

The salaries are low compared to other big IT companies. You probably need to wait a long time for a promotion.
