Pros of working at Microsoft

Free drinks and fruit on one day of the week, most people are great to work with when accomplishing their goals.

Cons of working at Microsoft

People will cut your position if an Indian from India can replace you at a lower wage... even from way across the United States. Software Development Engineers don't like to work with you when it comes to dashboards, give you misinformation on creating or differ from what the management wants, leaving you with ambiguous instructions. Some PM's micromanage you and tell you to write an email of what you accomplished, when others are not required to do so... making you think you are being singled out. They put people into positions where they truly do not know what they are doing on the data structures and have no idea about Business Intelligence concepts/techniques. Contracting company is only interested in getting you in on a low wage, so they can keep more of the contract money. Please note that the American companies pay the highest wages with benefits. Others may not give you any benefits and a low wage.
