Approves of CEO
Pros

Good place to start a career.

If you are looking for career advancement, go to Redmond, not the satellite offices.

Smart people.

Good health benefits, 401K, ESPP, etc.

Cons

Career growth stalls quickly if you are in one of the satellite offices.

Too much inter/intra group politics.

Senior management can't stick to their decisions.

Advice to Management

Make decisions on what is the right thing, not how strong you are.

Expand satellite campuses. This will give remote employees more professional growth and career advancement opportunities, which are lacking right now and a major cause of attrition.
