It doesn't matter how long you've worked with the org or your overall standing with leadership, Operations will remove you from the employment rolls if business goes bad enough, without much advanced warning. That's the biggest con. Other cons are: They toe the MSFT line exceptionally heavily and really only prioritize education to be line with MSFT certs and selling points. So for a holistic technology picture you'll need to do that on your own. Also, as a joint venture between Accenture and MSFT, you end up working on a lot of Accenture projects which can be difficult at times.
