Pros: Great pay, benefits, workplace, and swag, etc. Microsoft had a lot of events that summer, and we got an Xbox as a gift.
Cons: Hit or miss with team placement. If you end up on a cool team (with great people), you'll have a blast. But I've had friends who've been on teams that weren't very exciting or who had difficulties working with senior members on the team.
