Enterprise Strategy Consultant
Pros: The company has a great brand and there is good mobility within the company which can offer some folks good mobility.  If your skills fall within a particular narrow range, they will keep you busy using them.  Mostly software consulting
Cons: The position of Enterprise Strategy Consultant is supposed to be an Enterprise Architect role, but the sales staff in nearly every market has no visibility at all to senior business leaders, making it nearly impossible for Microsoft to get people engaged in doing Enterprise Architecture work.  If you are a TECHNICAL architect, you'll do fine in MCS but if you are actually an Enterprise Architect or Business Architect, Microsoft Consulting Services will NOT be a good place to work.
