Good place but better opportunities probably exist
Pros: Microsoft is a great place to work if you want to gain lots of experience working within a large group dynamic. The benefit package is very good and is a reason many people with families find it hard to leave.
Cons: Politics within a large group requires building too much consensus. Overall, Microsoft is all about design by committee and management rarely makes decisions.
