Pros

The best parts about working at Microsoft are: networking with some of the most talented and motavated minds in the industry, the ability to have a part to play in software with a huge footprint and high exposure, the benefits are awesome, there are ample opportunities to move around and see a lot of the company, and the learning and self-improvement opportunities are endless.

Cons

The are a lot of politics. I was sometimes stunned at how some people were able to climb the ladder and others weren't. It's definitely a big game. Compensation and bonuses are there if you play the game well. Prepare for a cutthroat ride if you are a User Experience profession just trying to do the right thing - way too easy to become a "design-machine".
