Great if you find the right team + manager.
Pros: smart people, challenging work, can move around to other opportunities without leaving city or company, free drinks, really good benefits,
Cons: bad managers can screw up ur career, can take years to rebuild, I've had both good and bad managers, have been promoted so I know what I'm talking about, very political. Employees who have been working here for 5+ years really know how to screw others in reviews (ex. your friends talk badly about you behind your back to your manager). Employees don't really know whats going on outside of MS and generally don't care (or care about customers too much). average pay
