Pros

Pay and Benefits.

Working with some smart engineers.

Cons

Leadership is undergoing a bunch of layoffs, disguising them as "performance." They are digging all the way back two years to find people with bad reviews to lay them off without severance. Microsoft is becoming the new Amazon, and I would stay clear.
