      Pros

      Great benefits and the prestige for working for the largest software company.

      Stressful job. Company is too big and so has a lot of process that cuts into productivity.

      Microsoft's teamwork is beyond comparison but needs to get back to basics

      Account executive

      Pros

      The flexibility is amazing and there are a light of bright people that enable teamwork. I personally love the entrepreneurship attitude which allows me to run my section of the business as I see fit. Lastly, the trust from the front-line and second-line managers is amazing.

      Cons

      Work/Life Balance are grey and you can get sucked into the internal competition, stack ranking, etc. Every person in corporate with a product line, sales responsibility, etc. has a metric to monitor the business. There is a complex metric and you have to be focused on every metric... I personally believe this stifles customer relations.

      Two steps above a government job, stable, secure and simple.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      A great place to have a stable life, have great benefits and learn a lot. They are supportive about growth of the individual. I learned a lot being there for 5 years out of college. I was definitely able to develop good database skills and continually improve my project management skills.

      Cons

      Boring, microshafted from a technology standpoint and it's just too darn political anymore. It's hard to make moves to new groups like the old days. Most of the cool stories i heard about hard working environments no longer existed and the passion of the team is just not there anymore.
