Pros

There is a lot happening, no day is ever dull. Working on the back end, your customers are usually down the hall from you. Everyone I know was promoted after a year. Main campus is like going back to college again, except with free drinks, and more impact.

Cons

Some teams seem to be in maintenance mode, I would avoid those teams. Not clear if Windows phone will survive.

Pros

Great co-workers, scope and benefits.

Cons

Your experience will vary year to year: frequent reorgs means that you can be working on something completely different that you didn't choose and place you under new leads, and some of them aren't any good helping you progress or keep you interested in the job.
