Effective, Motivational Leader
Pros: The benefits at Microsoft are fantastic.   There are also some of the smartest people I've ever met working there.    Its fun to get to interact with so many type "A" personalities, as everyone is very driven, and you don't have a ton of slackers.
Cons: Because there are so many type "A" people, its very hard to distinguish yourself.   You can work harder than you've ever worked in your life, and there is more than likely someone else who has worked harder, or done more.    People eat, sleep, breath Microsoft 24/7.    Sometimes it feels a bit cultish.
