Pros

Great benefits. Great compensation. Smart people. Flexibility to move around the company. Great support and technology options. You can use the best tools for the job.

Cons

Infighting is still a very real problem at MS. There has been a major push to remove the once toxic competition between orgs over the last few years, but it's still gaining traction.

Re-orgs, leadership turnover, and office moves are frequent.

Advice to Management

Keep pushing the One Microsoft idea. Unhealthy competition between orgs is getting better, but still exists.
