Decent place to work in general
- Lots of different things to do and different teams.
- Team change is easier.
- The Cloud/Bing side is growing all the time; there is always a new challenge.

- Benefits are no longer competitive.
Please invest more in a better engineering environment and process.
Embrace open-source solutions over in-house ones; this reduces inter-team dependency.
