Hard to accelerate your career
Pros: Having worked for Microsoft for 10 years now, I've learned that the experience you develop here will help you accelerate your career outside of Microsoft.
Cons: Having worked for Microsoft for 10 years now, I've learned that the experience you develop here will not count towards accelerated (or non-accelarted) growth within the company unless you move to different teams. However if your passion lies within the area of expertise that your team works on, you're constantly stumped for growth in levels and promotion because of the review process. it comes down to who you know, not what you know, or what you've helped the team accomplish.
