Keep our franchise solid technically
Pros: Kid in a candy store if you're a techie.  Everything you touch or do could have a huge impact on many customers.  Free software (MSFT stuff that is).  Good prices on MSFT goods.
Cons: The compensation is low - I can go to an alternate place and get 30% increase overnight..  While part of comp is stock, the stock price stinks just hovers hasn't moved.
The company is too Redmond focused.  Wish they would open up real development in more places in the country, east coast for me.  Redmond is way to rainy for me.  Man, I need to see the sun.

In Field they they hire some real clowns too. Don't recongnize experience and again, soft skills are short.
