Premier Field Engineer
Pros: - The ability to work remote full-time is a major bonus... no commute time. 
 - Company culture has improved under Satya Nadella's leadership
 - For those willing to put in the work there is ample opportunity for growth
Cons: Working based on utilization (hours billed) can at  times make it feel like you have to constantly work to keep up making it hard to use vacation time. As soon as you return from a few weeks of vacation time the added pile of hours to catch up on can be debilitating unless you front load you work. If you plan to work as a premier engineer time management is an essential skill.
