Pros

Microsoft is a place where you can build a long-term career and where the technology you build will affect 10s of millions of people. Very exciting problems, and good culture of people.

Cons

Microsoft has a lot of large and legacy systems which can make progress slow. Many layers of bureaucracy slow things down and impose a large tax on the time of most employees, especially managers.
