      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Great talent. There is some really good talent in Microsoft and opportunity to work and learn from them is awesome. - Microsoft provides opportunity to work on wide spectrum of technologies - Bing, Server, Windows, XBOX, Office - Microsoft provides good work life balance. - Microsoft has some of the best benefit package in industry.

      Cons

      - Microsoft seems to be playing catching up in too many areas - phone, tablets, search. It might be better to pick fewer areas and go all in them.

      Rewarding, but also concerned about the future of the company

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Very smart people - Good salary, benefits, etc - The results of your work go practically everywhere (ok, it depends on the group you're in). - Job security, despite the recent rounds of layoffs. - Better work/life balance than let's say 10 years ago.

      Cons

      - Company lost its edge, missed several trains to competition, and what is frustrating to employees is that lots of ideas had been Microsoft's in the first place, but they had been botched during execution. - Lack of clear accountability. - Politics there is not for the faint of heart.
