Great company, but not necessarily for everyone
Pros: Innovative and game-changing company with great products and solutions. Microsoft continues to invest significantly in solutions to deliver its vision to customers, and become the leader in the multiple areas of the technology industry (i.e. magic quadrants).
Cons: It's a really big company, obviously.  I've found that it's very hard to navigate the complexity to get simple things done, which is frustrating. The company is very numbers and forecast driven from a day to day basis, however, they do recognize the efforts that you put forward in quarterly and yearly reviews. Licensing is very complex and isn't easy for reps or for customers, but the company has committed to simplifying this. It's hard to feel like you're a part of a family or any sort of local sense of community in the customers we serve.
