MSFT is valuable on the resume
Pros: MSFT provides an exciting opportunity to work in a vibrant and diverse environment while impacting people around the world.  People, resources and facilities are among the best in the world.
Cons: While you may be hired "to bring your ideas and perspectives" don't expect much of an opportunity in that regard.  The environment is highly politically charged and many colleagues resign themselves to playing it safe and saluting the flag vs. advocating new or different ideas.
