Pros

Challenging. Always something to learn. Great people to work with. Fast paced but fun atmosphere. Flexibility, ability to work from home

Cons

Extremely long hours (70 hr week norm) takes its toll; they appear(ed) to lay off people who hit 50 yrs of age or older, or who had worked there 20 years (or close to it) - assumingly because it would be cheaper to hire younger folks than continue to pay the higher salaried experienced ones.

Pros

Good benefits, smart people, market momentum, CEO that appears to want to drive change but doesn't understand the field culture.

Cons

Politics rule the day. "One microsoft" does not exist. Constant infighting, leadership that is out of touch with the field and more focus on their image as they plan for their next role.

Pros

Great pay and benefits. Flexible work anywhere, anytime options. The Muppet ratio is generally lower. There parental leave policy of 20 weeks full time pay is also very generous.

Cons

My role has changed 3 times in 18 months due to continual organisational change and has left me disengaged and feeling unempowered, overwhelmed and so caught up in corporate internal processes that too little time is spent focusing on empowering our customers.
