Need to be in the right group
Pros: Microsoft has one of the best benefits around and if you're in the right group, this could be one of the best places to work.
Cons: The group I happened to be in had management with  A LOT of friends and a buddy system going on.  Of course, I was there before new management came in and took over.  They brought a lot of their friends and buddies over with them.  You can guess what happens when it's time for ratings and promotions.
