Pros: - Good reputation in general in the industry. - Opens up other job opportunities in the industry. - If you are lucky enough to be in a group which is making money and have a really good manager who you can follow around, stay.

Cons: Your fate is decided by your manager. If they don't like you, you can stay at the same level for several years and never get promoted because they need people who can do the less glorious work too. Bing Ads in the Bay Area has some of the worst people managers. They cannot stomach critical constructive feedback. I have witnessed several of my outspoken colleagues forced out of the team. There is occasional evidence of racial bias in hiring and promotions. Take a look at the names of people in some of the teams; you'll clearly see this. I've been on interview panels where, despite having strong candidates of a different ethnic background, they were not hired. The hiring decisions are not transparent to the interview panel. They are entirely in the hands of the hiring manager.

Pros: a lot of teams to try

Cons: Sometimes, team dependency defers development efficiency.

Pros: Work-life balance, Stay fit program, Good health insurance program,

Cons: You will be cornered in the Microsoft stack of technologies.
