Pros

You can quickly get noticed and rise up to get into cool projects. You get compensated very, very well. You work with industry experts and very intelligent people.

Cons

Microsoft has a hard time with services, since most people are used to boxed software.

Please get rid of dead weight faster. Some people really shouldn't be senior or leads. The review system is terrible at this.

Advice to Management

Don't do things for political reasons, and get better at running services.
