Pros

You have the opportunity to work on any aspect of Computer Science you want. There are some really good engineers here. You get some unique experience that you cannot get from other places. Seattle is a beautiful places.

Cons

Compensation for entry level engineer is not very good. People are losing the passion now. It is a big company that is not an innovation company now. The antitrust really hurts the moral of the company and comparing with its main competitor in the internet. Its response speed is slow. This makes it has slow response on the market. Too many PM tries to make things mess because they need to show their visibility.

Pros

Microsoft gives software developers a lot of personal freedom over both the work and the work environment. I can order my own supplies, customize my office as I see fit, schedule my own trips and meetings, and select my own training courses. I choose when I show up for work and when I leave, and what to wear while I'm there. I can eat on campus or off, reheat something from home in the kitchen or scavenge leftovers from meetings. I can even work remotely from home (within reason).

Cons

The people here are very driven and a little socially dysfunctional
