Great place for a data scientist
Pros: With most Microsoft products getting online the amount of data you get to work with is enormous. A lot of low hanging fruit (few people looked at the data before you) means you can generate a lot of impact. Great infrastructure for working with large volumes of data means you spend more time analyzing the data and less worrying about processing it efficiently.
Cons: You need to be skilled in corporate politics. Not everyone is bought into being data driven, and ownership issues may get on the way.
