Pros
Cool product, the old Skype people are great, european influence, chance to influence the world
Cons
Disconnected upper management and middle management left to run wild. Too many unconnected kingdoms; geographic distribution wasn't handled well. Blind application of the letter agile software methodologies without understanding the core principles. Once Microsoft management took over it descended into a political hell where engineers had very little influence.
