Talented and awesome coworkers. You get to learn so much from peers.Cons: The startup kind of feel is missing. Management is more middle-aged and hence innovation and new ideas take a backseat to tried and tested methods.

- 3.0Start here, learn as much as you can, leave, grow, come back, repeatSoftware Development Engineer In Test (SDET) • Current EmployeeRedmond, Washington, United StatesJanuary 3, 2009Pros: The benefits: discounts on software, some really smart people to work with. The food in the cafeteria is sometimes good. What you are doing is going to affect millions of people.Cons: The company is too huge, slow-moving, and sluggish. We need more ways of getting things done faster. It would help a lot if there was an easier way to reach employees within the company. We also need more visibility to product groups. It can be very daunting for someone who is starting afresh. Also, there is too much shuffling of upper management and product groups and not enough focus on long-term strategy. The lack of openness is also a bad thing. It's about time more stuff was open-sourced. It would lead to bugs being discovered earlier, causing less of a problem.
