MACH MBA Program
Pros: The money is really good coming out of an MBA Program. Also Microsoft has a great benefits and the work life balance is really good. Also you can work from home as much as you want.
Cons: This was one of the worst decisions I made after my MBA. Although the money is really good, Field organizations don't value MBAs and therefore you spend a whole year chasing your manager to give you relevant work. Field office culture is toxic as layoffs are common and treated coldly and they always start with the MBAs as no one cares to help and develop their skills. The program in itself is terribly organized, it is a sink or swim program and the attrition rate for MBAs is very very high. If you are serious about sales this is the worst program for a software company.

Also mentorship is non existent and the only way that you make it in this program is if you have a good manager willing to coach and build you. I left after a year and a half to a better environment.
