Competitive salary. If you are posted in HQ Redmond, then low cost of living (compared to the Bay Area). Excellent benefits and a bunch of cool coworkers. Lots of opportunity to move around, make contacts, and gain experience.
Politics, over-competitiveness, and secrecy inside the team can be issues. For performing well, one needs to put in lots of time, which might kill the work-life balance. Probably that's true for other software companies as well.
Reduce hierarchy and promote openness. Eliminating stack ranking is probably a good start.
