Pros

There is a lot happening; no day is ever dull. Working on the back end, your customers are usually down the hall from you. Everyone I know was promoted after a year. Main campus is like going back to college again, except with free drinks and more impact.

Cons

Some teams seem to be in maintenance mode; I would avoid those teams. It's not clear if Windows Phone will survive.

Advice to Management

Try to leapfrog the competition, not catch up to it. Also, it seems like we have a reorganization every few months; is that really needed? Finally, please don't get rid of offices.
