Distracted but impressive.
Pros: Most things in microsoft are quite pleasant.  The biggest problem with Microsoft as with all large corporations is the deadwood that so often accumulates.  Additionally managements current obssession with trying to by yahoo has distracted this company and devalued our own offerings.  If we suck so badly at the internet, LAY THEM OFF.  

Form a personal perspective, the job of a program manager at microsoft is uniqu.  Guiding a product from inception to a billion dollar industry can't really be done anywhere else in quite the same way.  The leverage over human output is stunning (try working in Excel, Word, or Outlook).
Cons: The Commute, the Rain, the Rain and the Rain.
