Pros: Microsoft is a great company.  When functioning at its best, you will absolutely have access to resources and to challenges that are unparalleled in the industry.
Cons: There is a unspoken cultural norm that facilitates risk aversion (fear).  Leaders often speak about being bold and courageous, however, there are measures and processes (not just the performance system) that undermine the creativity that is fostered through encouraging diverse perspectives.
