Pros

- Competitive wage and benefits - Working on cutting edge, global projects - Excellent experience

Cons

- Tend to only use their own tools (so you get *really* good at Microsoft stuff, not so good at other leading industry tools and frameworks) - Large scale means slow moving, many hurdles and processes to get changes and developments into production (rightfully so, but can reduce enjoyment) - Success of Azure has changed culture to be a bit more "results" oriented (You won't get acknowledged for addressing fundamentals)

Pros

Culture and work life balance.

Cons

Salary is low compared to other companies. Also, there's this culture if you have experience of more than 1 company than only they increase salary. Raising top in ladder is just not possible.
