Microsoft

If you want to work on products and services that can have a positive effect on tens to hundreds of millions of customers, Microsoft is one of the few places where you will get the opportunity and learning experiences.

Though benefits have changed, they are still some of the best in the industry.

Microsoft has languished due to a lack of executive leadership.

Groups create silos and fiefdoms rather than working together for the benefit of the customers and the product.

Micromanagement and assigning blame are taking over where freedom and risk-taking used to be rewarded.

Microsoft does not need to return to the 'cowboy' days of the 80s and 90s, but returning to a culture of rewarding risk and tearing down silos/walls needs to happen.

Steve Ballmer and most of his executive staff probably need to leave.
