You'll learn more in 1 year at Microsoft than you will in 5 years at many other companies.
Pros: Compensation is reasonable.  Benefits are good--although not as good as they used to be.  Work-life balance is reasonable depending on your role.
Cons: Your ability to be successful in a sales role is strongly dependent on the random quota-setting process and how many of your accounts have renewals scheduled for their Enterprise Agreements in the fiscal year.
