Pros

Microsoft has been an incredibly stable company to work for. Roles and expectations are generally well specified. Lots of opportunity to move up or around within the company. There is always something new and exciting to work on. New ideas are always welcome and freedom to pursue your passions. Hard work is always rewarded.

Cons

The work environment can be quite competitive. Rewards are performance driven as compared to your colleagues. If everyone is a superstar, it can be difficult to differentiate yourself.

Pros

Many different jobs within the same company. Ability to re-invent oneself over a longterm career without leaving the company. The diverse workforce/culture promotes identity and creativity. Though some individual teams/managers may be a bit more rigid, generally, the culture allows for freedom to perform as you may find necessary so long as results are delivered.

Cons

Difficult to make career change internally versus roles that are filled externally. External hires are valued higher. With such a diverse workforce, non-tech opportunities are far less available (marketing, business development, etc.).
