Pros

Usually no long hours, good benefits, good working spaces, and flexibility to switch teams. It provides a lot of flexibility for working hours.

Cons

If you are really passionate about your work, it can become difficult to drive change because of the amount of process and bureaucracy.

Advice to Management

Making processes more lightweight would really help engineers be more productive and have their work reflect on what Microsoft delivers.

There should also be a push to eliminate bureaucracy.
