Pros

Microsoft is a great place to work. I love it here. It's not perfect, but no company is, though it's still a lot better than most companies I've worked for.

You can work on projects that impact the entire world.

If you don't like your current job, you can easily move to another team or division and keep all your seniority and benefits. (And the benefits are great!)

Cons

Microsoft can be a little insular and internally focused, although we try not to be.

Managers aren't uniform; there are good ones and bad ones everywhere, and you can get a bad one at Microsoft.

The environment can be very competitive; it's not for everyone (and getting in can be very competitive too).

Advice to Management

Keep up the good work. Keep growing. The company's really been headed in the right direction since Satya took over.
