Pros

Nice benefits. Some orgs can be slow-paced for ease of stress, or Azure, which is a constant death march.

Cons

Extremely toxic political environment.

People are always fighting over ownership.

There is another team in Microsoft doing exactly what you are, and you'll clash over them.

Lots of reorgs.

Horrible open source software policy (It's gotten better, but still horrible).
