The only thing good is the money
Pros: Microsoft pays very well - at least at first. There are not other pros.
Cons: Culture - one of the most poisonous working environments I have ever encountered. Highly political. Completely NON transparent. Wasteful. And very UNproductive.
Opportunity - almost none. Research and some of the engineering teams get to work on cools things but there is fat chance they will ever see the light of day. Everyone else is working on propping up the stinking edifice.
Job satisfaction. None.
