Pros

Great change in culture since Satya took over. Supportive environment, lots of new opportunities.

Cons

Everything is building crazy fast, and many tools for building and operating services at scale are behind what Amazon, Google, and Facebook have. Other tools and frameworks fall to disinvestment or pullback. Lots of knowledge sharing still suffers from the SharePoint "not searchable/restricted access" syndrome.

Advice to Management

Invest heavily in engineering excellence, institutional knowledge, and openness.
