Pros

We're allowed to think "out of the box" when designing great customer experiences and new business opportunities. And to deliver those experiences we're encouraged to use new or enhanced processes if they're proven to work elsewhere (internal or external). So in short, this truely is a place where you can dream big and deliver on those dreams, all it takes is passion, the ability to influence and a rock solid business plan.

Cons

Microsoft is under the microscope of many global governments, that very thing makes it difficult to deliver exactly what customers what and ask for. We've been given hand cuffs becuase we're become popular, in a word, it's totally unfair to our customers.
