Pros

The developer focus Microsoft has is a breath of fresh air from companies that are overly bureaucratic in their development processes.

Cons

If anything, when starting at the company, it can take a while to get connections to other groups inside the company without knowing where to go. Getting a mentor to help navigate the company is invaluable.

Advice to Management

Following the HBR principles, management should provide more visibility in process planning (I'm not saying be completely transparent with everything).
