Manager can make or break your career
Pros: Free health, dental and vision, 50% 401k match. Discount buying OS, office and Xbox games. Free bus pass in Seattle area.
Cons: Poor management, either my way or highway. Hard working in MSFT won't lead you to reward. Super micro management, 1 on 1 with your manager every week, 4 x official reviews per year. Manager can make or break your career, manager can rank you at the bottom even you work hard. Ranking system still exist, believe me. Most of the managers been working there over 10 years, no idea how outside world work.
