Pros

Amazing benefits, great salary, fabulous opportunities to attend events and network with industry leaders, great products (i.e. Office) and abilty to try out new products before they reach the market.

Cons

If you get in a group that values your skills and wants to move you forward in your career, you're lucky. My experience was to be manged in place for four years in a dead-end, unchallenging, unrewarding job, which was beneath my skill level, by a manager who was more concerned with hiding his incompetence than elevating employees who could truly make a difference. I'm now a contractor, doing what I should have done from the start.

Pros

Benefits are awesome, as well as the parties and swag. Could be a great learning environment.

Cons

Schedules are too tight to really enable you to learn something new. Too difficult to get a promotion because you have to kiss butt of the manager and work well over 40 hours per week just to get your normal work done, let alone anything that would help you get a promotion.
