Microsoft has grown up and doesn't play well with others
Pros: You get to meet and work with some great people from around the country and and around the world.
Cons: Some people are cut throat about what they will do to other employees to get ahead. This is especially true now that Microsoft is a big company and the stock is not performing.

If you're fresh out of school, you will get fewer opportunities to put your skills to the test. There's a long line of older and more senior employees looking for opportunities to get ahead. They don't like to share.

If you have a disability, HR may try to use constructive discharge to get rid of you. This can also happen as you approach the age where you are protected from age discrimination.
