A stagnant company - More focused on its "diversity" than results

Pros
Company name recognition - If you say you work at Microsoft, people know who the company is. Free access to Microsoft software.
Cons
This is a company in a cultural free-fall. Microsoft used to be its own worst critic - it helped improve its software by internally having high expectations. Now it is full of non-technologists (many are women who "don't understand technology, but are good at communicating, or "big picture people". So concerned about its image and its diversity - if you aren't gay or a particular race with some complaint, you're a minority.
