Pros

Microsoft believes in its people and takes a clear stand on political issues relevant to its employees. The corporate philanthropy policies with matching gifts and volunteer time cash donations are exceptional and make me proud to work here.

Cons

Microsoft for years has been unable to shake its "uncool" reputation compared to Facebook, Google, and Apple. New synergies, visible in the metro UI standard being shared across products, is starting to bring the cool back to Microsoft.

Pros

- highly competitive - play to win in the long haul - money cushion means this company is less affected by economic volatility - culture is relative open, fair, not terribly hierarchial (especially in marketing)

Cons

- sometimes the size means navigating the organization is tough - duplication of work across the organization - waste of resources by people driving political agenda
