Pros

It has lots of internal opportunities; it's relatively easy to switch jobs. You can try out different work styles: fast/slow or tight/loose, according to your family situation.

There are great domain experts, and you can learn from them.

Cons

Compensation is so-so.

Some teams have bad politics.

Advice to Management

We should really push for the One Microsoft goal and break down organizational boundaries. Attractive compensation is needed.
