      ADC is great, if you land the right team/manager

      Pros

      - Great benefits for the standards of living in Nairobi. You are paid a good basic salary, stock grants, fuel allowance and more. - You get to work with brilliant minds across the globe and the learning never stops. - If you are lucky you can get to participate in global Microsoft funded events.

      Cons

      - You may not have your skills well aligned with the team's charter as often you have no say on what team you land on. So you have to be able to wade in the mud before you swim. - Some managers lack accountability and politics is rife. You have to protect yourself intentionally otherwise you will never grow. - ADC is not highly prioritized with high quality work at this time (2025) for many teams so if you want fast growth and opportunities to take you to the top levels, keep this in mind.
