      High caliber employees, decent pay, but too top managed with an adversarial corporate climate

      Pros

      Peers are very smart and of high caliber - some of the smartest people around. Pay is on par with the industry and the benefits are exceptional.

      Cons

      Top managed from Redmond - Satellite office, despite being quite large, had little autonomy. Yearly re-orgs and constant management re-shuffling. Corporate climate is more competitive and adversarial than collaboratory. Although it kept you on your toes, I believe it is detrimental for achieving the overall goals of the company.

      Many and varied opportunities to make an impact, but the company is still falling into the same traps as the past

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Wide variety of very interesting and opportunities to make an impact on the world like few companies in the world can. The company is starting to make the right decisions faster, but this is a work still in progress.

      Cons

      The same sorts of problems that have plagued the company continue to do so -- vision needs to be crisper with much more selective focus, and decisions need to happen faster.

      Great benefits, because you'll need them.

      Pros

      You get to work with some of the smartest, most brilliant people; there's always a great opportunity to learn while at Microsoft.

      Cons

      It's a very stab-in-the-back environment. Teamwork is limited due to the annual review system. Upper management (general managers and above) all believe that MS is the end-all, be-all to someone's financial success, where employees and line managers simply do not see the same financial rewards.
