Pros

Trick is to really understand where you want to work, and pick the right team. If you want fast career advance, pick a high growth team such as Bing or Ads Center, and stay away from traditional Office and Windows teams. These teams also allow greater flexibility and innovation. If you would rather work on honing your technical skills only, you should choose the more traditional teams. Overall, great place to work and benefits are some of the best in the industry.

Cons

Career growth can be slow in some traditional teams.

Pros

* Diverse range of work, can move if bored. Doing some cutting edge stuff * Great benefits, good compensation * Generally treats employees well

Cons

* Experience is totally dependent on team. Each has it's own way of operating * Hiring bar went down a little bit during the boom years so there is some chaff in pockets
