Not bad if you're in the right group.
Pros: Seattle is a great place to live, work, and play
Good energy around the company with Satya as the new CEO
Some new products are sparking interest - Band, Surface, Azure
Good work life balance and benefits
Cons: Lots of layers / orchestration/ politics
Sometimes different product groups are not aligned and actually compete with each other 
The behavior /attitude changes at the top haven't always trickled down to the rank and file.
Not a great brand reputation with consumers
Spotty management - there's really good and really bad managers
