      Pros

      pay, vacation time accrued from working many years

      Cons

      they are downsizing so much less opportunity than they had in the past. benefits are decreasing. the wrong people are getting promoted for the wrong activity. best people are leaving the company. shift to cloud will mean far fewer roles.

      Disappointing

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Amazing benefits, great salary, fabulous opportunities to attend events and network with industry leaders, great products (i.e. Office) and abilty to try out new products before they reach the market.

      Cons

      If you get in a group that values your skills and wants to move you forward in your career, you're lucky. My experience was to be manged in place for four years in a dead-end, unchallenging, unrewarding job, which was beneath my skill level, by a manager who was more concerned with hiding his incompetence than elevating employees who could truly make a difference. I'm now a contractor, doing what I should have done from the start.

      Hard to get promoted due to being too busy doing your job to pursue it

      Pros

      Benefits are awesome, as well as the parties and swag. Could be a great learning environment.

      Cons

      Schedules are too tight to really enable you to learn something new. Too difficult to get a promotion because you have to kiss butt of the manager and work well over 40 hours per week just to get your normal work done, let alone anything that would help you get a promotion.
