Pros

1. You work with an amazing group of talented people 2. Great medical benefits (through 2012) 3. Lots of different opportunities within the company

Cons

1. Stack Rank review system creates individual competition between team members 2. Inter competitive environment is somewhat toxic and stifles innovation 3. Microsoft management is stuck n the 90s mindset, and is slow to recognize new opportunities 4. The CEO is out of touch 5. Aside from XBox, Microsoft lacks the cool/it factor (it's the new IBM)
