Pros: They treat you like gold.
You get to meet so many people.
Tons of responsibility.
Seattle is amazing too.
Cons: I have experienced no cons from my internships here. Even if you have a terrible time, other companies very much respect Microsoft on a resume. The only possible thing is that many employees there have worked at Microsoft for 20+ years and don't ever get exposed to other tech outside the Microsoft bubble.
