Pros: Opportunity to work on an array of products, both on-premise and cloud. The technology stack used for development varies according to team. I have personally worked on: * Networking optimization for Sql Server on Linux with a lot of low-level C/C++ codebase. * Telemetry in Postgres and MySql cloud services using C#. * Multi-AZ support for Azure Databases (C#). There are very few places where you find this kind of breadth. There are engineering teams working on cloud-scale deployments, database query optimization, and security, to name a few.

Cons: Very hierarchical, huge teams, and hard to create impact.

Pros: Teamwork environment and people are kind.

Cons: Management sometimes does not make good decisions.

Pros: Awesome work-life balance, great culture, and a fantastic work group.

Cons: No cons to be stated as such.
