Too much Politics

Pros

Brand name is still good and the people overall are great

Cons

Adancement and general well being is much more based on who you know rather than how you do. Recent articles criticizing MS as workplace are spot on. Also, where are they going?

Not the company it was.

Pros

Good compensation, benefits, access to technology.

Cons

Almost everything these days is downside. The worst part of the company is its senior management--their strategy and executional ability is terrible. The company has an awful HR culture--no matter what HR represents, everything above level 65 is political and based on the subjective opinion of some inept VP. Great place to start your career. Leave at level 63.
