Pros

Well paid, big challenges, strong leadership, a very well respected subsidiary relative to Microsoft worldwide.

Cons

Location of main office - it's a big problem. Movement of people is also extremely difficult as the natural career progression is to Redmond or Microsoft North America, but salaries are not competitive in the US with the UK, so savings potential is significantly reduced for one that moves outside of the UK.
