Whether you take the offer from Microsoft or Google, carrer wise as well on the CV the impact would be high. Google as well as microsoft are at par in this matter.
The thing which should consider is where will you be more happy. Working for a Big company doesnt necessary mean u will be happy.
Work Profile -
Just ckeck out with both companies (in details) what ur work profile is going to be like, as well as how your future growth is going to be. Then think which work profile you are more passionate about, which ever comes close join that company.
Love For -
If you are a person who loves open source and want others to see your work, then no doubt google should be the choise. Google does give you the freedom to give 20% of your time for any work of your interest, may be it be web related, linux, or anything. Here microsoft will be a big disadvantage, within Microsoft you will have to work on their technology, no linux, no open source, nothing just microsoft technologies. Om the other hand if you love microsoft and MS tech, go with MS
Salary, Benefits:
Here google as well as Microsoft are equally good. As far as i know google pays litle better than MS and is a more caring company.
Working Hours:
This is something which no one can never say for sure for any company. IF you have a deadline for a critical project there is no choice maybe whichever company you are working for you will have to slog.
