Best health care on the planet
Pros: The health care plan for Microsoft is simply amazing.  They have their own Blue Cross / Blue Shield branch with essentially unlimited coverage.  A new employer would have to double my salary to justify the loss of this benefit.

This is also the smartest group of people I've ever worked with.

Microsoft projects don't fail for dumb reasons.  They don't run out of money, lack resources, lack smart people.
Cons: It's a big, safe company.  There's a lot of smart people here, but there's also a lot of corporate inertia.  There are loser projects and personnel that are carried for years without real accountability.
