Pros

Good Company and good vision overall Amazing peer and community on the building, great collaboration

Cons

Management is absolute flaming garbage, they don't admit their mistakes and very micromanagement oriented, as a technical resource you have to do activities as forecasting, review of a powerpoint every other week with no insight of what is actually happening of deals. Opportunities to move are below 0, forget about being promoted, getting a raise regardless of what you do, you are trapped by levels so you can't move into other jobs in Microsoft Heavily underpaid for professionals.

Pros

Fun workspace, the perks are really nice (gym at the office, subsidies food, haircuts at work), really really nice office.

Cons

As so many says here, middle management is bad. It's not necessarily the people, just that backstabbing, fiddling with numbers, and brown nosing is rewarded far higher than real results. Also, the job feels pointless a lot of times as competence and customer satisfaction is much less important than internal admin and branding. Really really hard to move internally outside of Dublin. If you start here, you'll be stuck here until you switch company...
