Interesting work, great work/life balance
Pros: If you're looking for the mythical software team with a real focus on good work/life balance, in my opinion Microsoft is well worth looking at. No longer the cool kid on the block, but doing some great, innovative work and, rather than being able to make their employees instant millionaires, are focused on good work/life balance and very good overall compensation.
Cons: It's a huge company, and there is certainly bureaucracy. And of course, your experience of the company is heavily influenced by whether you have a great (or not so freat) manager. Your mileage may vary.
