I Miss Microsoft

Pros

I really miss Microsoft. It was a great company. It wasn't without it's own set of problems, but overall it was a great place to work. The people were generally dedicated and for the most part people there cared about others.

Cons

Microsoft has a lot of "not invented here". It limits the creativity and growth engineers can have inside of the company.
