A 5 year MS is where you get both a BS and MS in 5 years. So basically you graduate a year late.

Thanks.

Isn’t getting some real work exp before joining Masters a good thing?

Would like to hear your opinion on this, please.

Don't ask me! I never got a Master's, and if I did get one, it wouldn't be in CS. In general I think work experience would inform your course selection or the decision to get an MS in the first place. That's pretty much the main way it would affect it.
