Very interesting... but stupid!
Very smart people, pretty good technology updates, excellent benefits (when I was there).
Terrible management. Ballmer was an immense embarrassment to the entire company, other than his cronies. In particular, his copying of Jack Welch's "someone must be a terrible employee" review process was a total disaster for morale among the employees.
I haven't been following the changes to HR, of course, since I no longer work there. But whatever you do, do NOT force managers to give bad reviews to some of their employees!
