mixed feelings
Pros: in some areas of Microsoft, there are a lot of exciting things going on -- Bing, Azure, Office365, Research
Cons: if somebody has survived there long enough to make it into middle management, it means they cut their teeth back in (and had what it took to succeed through the grinder of) the "bad old days" --  (all time up to a several few years ago)  when the behaviors that were cultivated and rewarded are not the kind of place I want to work in in 2015.
