Pros

- Competitive pay - Remote work available - Microsoft is exploding right now

Cons

- Depending on the team you're placed in, could make or break you - Wear a lot of hats. Engineers are sometimes stuck doing data analysis for weeks on end, or act as product managers and come up with product features - Lots of self starting if that's what you enjoy, you will be told to find your own work. - Product managers are never responsive and are spread very thin - Upper crust engineers are exceedingly difficult to ask for help, questions, and you will feel the power dynamic. Not pleasant, and not collaborative environment whatsoever.
