Microsoft

There seems to be a breath of fresh air in Microsoft that makes working here both refreshing and challenging, depending on what you are looking for.

If you are the creative type that likes to leverage people's ideas to be successful and believes the success of the group equals the success of the individual, no matter what it takes, you will now find MS a place that actually measures your performance in similar ways.

Also, if you are the experimental kind that thinks that good business in tech needs to move fast with ideas, you will also find that MS is now a place that wants you to help it move in that direction (surprisingly enough).

The flip side of the coin, I guess, is that you are now needing to learn new ways (ironically, that's actually how the rest of the industries have been doing things for a while) that are different from the Microsoft that most people used to know. If you are just looking for a nine-to-five job, you may find you have less and less room to go at Microsoft. There are still places for that, but they are far less common, in my opinion.
