Great people, managers are typically good at managing teams. Depending on the manager, you can get good recognition if you go out of the way to contribute more than what is expected (and what is expected is actually very basic).Cons: If you're looking for something exciting and cutting-edge, Microsoft is probably not the place. It's a big company with a defined hierarchy, and it can be hard to feel like you're making an innovative contribution. Management, for the most part, is looking for and expecting code monkeys.
