Pros

Competitive compensation. Ease of movement among teams in the company. Management is fairly transparent with regards to feedback. If you seek a structured environment, this is probably a very good place for you.

Cons

Full-time employees seem obsessed with performance reviews. As an intern, I found myself explaining the basics of my project to full-time employees far more than I really should have, perhaps indicating a lack of knowledge and focus on my team. Being a Microsoft employee is all about "drinking the Kool-Aid." That is, seeming dissatisfied with the way a team is operating is almost always met with negativity rather than constructive responses.
