Employment status: former

Great stable place to work.
Pros: Company treats their employees really well. 

Good name brand, and stable career. If you ever want to switch out of the company, other employers will look at the Microsoft brand with praise.

Pays above average. The cost of living in the Washington area is not too high either.

The area is really nice in the summer. You will have access to the mountains and lake.
Cons: Some of you might not like the Seattle/Washington area. Personally, I prefer more of urban culture. Seattle is pretty nice, but it rains a lot. Things can also move a little slow at Microsoft, but it depends whether or not that bothers you. Sometimes, it's nicer just having a slower pace work environment.
