Microsoft, being as large as it is, feels like a company of companies. There seems to be something for every interest, be it solving enterprise problems (Azure, Dynamics, etc.), consumer products (Xbox, Surface, Mixer, etc.), e-commerce, research, or education.
This also applies to organization sizes and work styles (e.g., startup-y, more structured, etc.).
Some organizations are nicer to work in/with than others. It is worth asking about micro-culture details when joining to see how they align with your likes.
