Pros

Working with smart people, building technical skills based on Microsoft technology, good benefits, and a reasonable salary.

Cons

Too much politics. Managers care most about their personal agenda and the chain of command, not necessarily for the good of the company or the employee.

Advice to Management

Treat the company like it's your own; stand strong against upper management instead of just following.

If you're high up, listen to your people and avoid making decisions with your doors closed.

Avoid change for the sake of change.
