      Great learning experience

      Pros

      Good tools that help with the day-to-day, sometimes they break and it's painful, but still a lot better than not having them. Private offices, which are nice if you just want to be heads-down and get work done. Lots of really smart people, from which you can always learn something new.

      Cons

      Long hours. Very political environment, a lot of middle management. Most times "How it looks" or the "Team Stats" are more important than doing the right thing for users or the company.

      Pros

      - Good compensation & benefits. - Looks good in the resume

      Cons

      - You manager has TOTAL control over your destiny, and that includes you future career opportunities within MS, your work/life balance, and virtually everything must be aproved by your manager. It totally up to them to rate you, regardless of your previous ratings. It's up to them to decide that you'r late, even if you're ahead anyone else with your work. The stack review system made it clear where the boundary is for people to turn into a**holes.
