Pros

Networking with people in your industry. Ability to move to other business units.

Cons

Your just a face in the crowd. Also, being Microsoft, you are loved by people in the industry or hated by people in the industry. Microsoft is a power house in the software world, of course by getting there you have a tendecy of making a few enemies.

Pros

It used to be the chance to make a lot of money. Now, the benefits are amazing and so long as you do a good job, there are no concerns about job security. The company store is awesome.

Cons

The politics are downright awful. Too many fiefdoms and little tyrants. Everyone needs to play politics which takes away from productivity. Sadly, back stabbings are common. The company needs to also improve the work/life balance. More telecommuting would help.
