      Microsoft has come a long way, and not necessarily in the right direction, since my run. The Yahoo debacle says it all.

      Pros

      Microsoft simply gave employees a wonderful work environment to grow in, as long as you toed the Corporate line. Also, and It may have been no more than a coincidence, I alway felt a very close compatibility with all who I worked with, as if they were chosen just for me.

      Cons

      Senor leadership seemed to stifle, instead of encourage individualism. Perhaps, they had a reason, perhaps it just seemed that way to me.

      Not a bad place

      Pros

      Huge company; tons of opportunity. This will enable you to make lateral moves. Great emphasis on work life balance. You great benefits - medical benefits are awesome . You can really make great use of that if you have family etc. Some great quality of trainings as well.

      Cons

      Huge place; many people competing for all the roles - lot of red tape. As someone also wrote in the review, many people have seen only company in their lifetime and their perspectives are very narrow. TO make it worse, most of them think that everyone else in the world is stupid.

      Pros

      Lots of smart people and interesting problems.

      Cons

      The internal politics, the difficulty of promotion at senior levels, and the "we're always right" cluture.
