Pros

Lots of cutting edge projects going on. Get to work with smart people on tough technical problems. Pays well and benefits are awesome!

Cons

Reorg, some groups have lots of politics. Really depends on whether your team leadership can shield corporate BS away from the team. New employees get low balled, not having open discussion about career development.

Pros

Good work life balance. Smart and friendly colleagues. Many teams doing different projects, where you can find and do the things / projects you want most.

Cons

The techniques / engineering tools are relative close. But for the recent years, Microsoft has become more and more open.

The hiring bar is getting lower these years. Microsoft is no longer the most attractive IT company of the world.
