      Good stable job, but mired by internal politics

      Principal group program manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good paycheck, benefits, bonus, stock awards. Surrounded by smart people and many of them are actually interesting in moving the project forward. Opportunities to work on a myirad of different technolgoies and can change your job if you move. Great benefits package as well.

      Cons

      Big compay that moves slow in a lot of different areas. as such it cannot compete in many of the businesses that its in. The slow pace of innovation has a lot to do with the fear of getting sued & this adds a lot of tax to making forward progress.

      Great first job

      Group manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great benefits, smart people and exposure to interesting problems. Significant resources if you work on a hot project. Great place for someone beginning their career or wanting to learn high tech.

      Cons

      Tremendous internal competition makes sharing best practices difficult. Focus in many groups is "internal" vs. market-oriented meaning that people are rewarded for successfully navigating through the bureaucratic maze rather than solving real problems.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You can move around to find something you are excited about

      Cons

      Isolated to Microsoft technologies, can lose touch of major industry trends. Very weak on applications and web services.
