Pros

This is a great company with smart, great people. The benefits are decent, although not what they once were. The new CEO holds promise of a fresh direction and focus, aiming for a more cohesive culture. They are actively making these changes across the company. There's strong research and development to push into hot areas, and the company is still capable of entering new markets as a key player, though not as completely dominant as before.

Cons

Microsoft is a huge company, so things still tend to move rather slowly. There is a move to bring people together in one place, eliminating telecommuting and private offices for shared workspaces.

Advice to Management

Continue positive progress with recent technology and culture changes.
