Helps to be in the Right Product Group
Pros: Join a "startup" group at MSFT with a good product and mission.  Picking the right product makes all the difference because the people at MSFT are usually great to work with and hours are regular.
Cons: Pick the wrong product team that cannot compete in the marketplace and you will be screwed with multiple re-orgs, co-workers fighting for survival doing "make-believe" busy work, politics, and frustration with lack of business progress.
