Great experience but getting competitive to a fault
Pros: Smart employees, hard working, products affect hundreds of millions of people
Cons: The compensation system encourages employees to compete with each other and this leads to all kinds of tension, stress, and behaviors that ultimately hurt Microsoft.  Windows 8 may have hurt Microsoft at a very deep level.
