Pros

Microsoft is involved in so many different technologies. They also have a very open attitude toward (even encouraging of) internal transfers. Want to work with XML? SOAP? Rather forcus on SQL for a while? How about games? Music? Mobile? You can be among the first to work with new versions of Visual Studio, Windows, whatever. Add to this the fact that you are working for one of the most recognized companies in the world!

Cons

We are always the "bad guys" to many in the world. This is and is not deserved. Regardless, it means that we always have to try twice as hard to get half as much credit. It also means that we have a very large bullseye painted on us, both in terms of hackers and legislators.

Pros

I really enjoyed the opportunity to work for a company that has all the technological tools needed to do my job.

Cons

Sad to say, but management really has no idea of what their possitions are for. All that they care is about to protect their paychecks and be in good standing with Human Resoruses, wich is a department that, as the employee does not sings their checks, the "HR" department will team up with management to ensure that employees that have an opinion are silenced "legally"
