Opportunities to work on almost anything you love. Pay is good, benefits too (though shrinking). Tons of resources to apply to any tough, interesting problem.
It takes a long time to get things done. There are many meetings, multiple rounds of management reviews and approval, and a lot of status writing.
Benefits are shrinking, but still good.
Microsoft isn't the 800-pound gorilla anymore; it's the middle-aged gorilla with a beer gut.
Don't be overly focused on technology and technical solutions to everything. Sometimes the simple solution, the one that amazes customers, is the right one – not the one that's "better." Ask Betamax about that.
