Pros

Some really great people who are generally very friendly and willing to help.

Cons

Management cannot be great, and you often have to work with legacy systems, especially in the cloud organization. Azure Core specifically has very long hours, on-call shifts are horrible, and they do not pay you well compared to other companies. Leveling is super slow as well.
