Political creatures thrive at Microsoft
Pros: Technical growth opportunities - You will work with some very smart people who have contributed a lot to some of the products that microsoft makes.

Benefits package - One of the best, specially if you have a family
Cons: Typical big company disadvantages - You might find it difficult to grow in career after a certain point. Certain point here means 2-3 promotions after entry. Microsoft does not make it easy to promote people. Review system can be very unfiair in how employees are rated and rewarded.
