Pros

Great benefits, awesome transportation options, and (especially when I joined) a reasonable salary. There were also lots of interest groups that made it a fun place.

Cons

The company is really large. When I left Microsoft, there were 11 managers in-between me and the CEO, and I had gone through 2 reorgs.

Pros

There is a lot happening, no day is ever dull. Working on the back end, your customers are usually down the hall from you. Everyone I know was promoted after a year. Main campus is like going back to college again, except with free drinks, and more impact.

Cons

Some teams seem to be in maintenance mode, I would avoid those teams. Not clear if Windows phone will survive.
