Great...for the right people

Pros

Benefits are excellent. Pretty much unlimited access to training and technology exposure...

Cons

As a PFE, you will be required to maintain utilization minimums, the same as a consultant would be. Stay billable or you lose. This creates false urgency and stress, as well as terrible work/life balance. Microsoft doesn't tell you in the interviews, but they want you to be a workshop trainer...providing actual support or "fixing things" is an afterthought and frowned upon, as that's not where the money is. MS should change the job title to "Technical Trainer" and get over with it.

Pros

- Looks good on your resume, will give you a great visibility (you get contacted by recruiters after even 3/4 months) - Great products, great ressources, - New Building is amazing, lot of options

Cons

- Discrimination against vendors. I was sad to see that one of my vendor friends have been denied to attend an anti discrimination LGBT event, because it was for FTEs only, unbelievable. - Slow processes, even though its' changing. - Some managers are here only by acquaintances
