Good Company in transition
Pros: I enjoyed Microsoft. However, it has changed greatly since when I joined in 2006.  It's still a first-class company but not as much leading-edge any more.
Cons: Microsoft seems so busy trying to latch on to a successful strategy that it's having difficultly with consistency.  The recent lay off of almost 8000 people is something that never would've happened 10 years ago. And it's okay for shareholders, but less okay if you work there.
