Pros

Variety of products and teams to move around. Ease of moving across test/dev/PM roles.

Pros

Smart people, flexible hours, great benefits. Lots of opportunities to move within MS - but even internal candidates have to go through the same process as external ones.

Cons

Performance rating system. Too biased towards "visibility" - you have to make sure others are aware of the work and the impacts to have any chance of promotions.
