Good Balance, Lacking Innovation
True to work-life balance, not just words from the executives. Easy job if you have the brain and a good work ethic. Good perks and benefits.
Innovation is lacking. There are a lot of talented engineers, but executives are not on par with Google, Facebook, and Apple when it comes to promoting creative ideas. This is due to the remnant of Steve Ballmer's legacy.
Currently, it is getting better, but there's still a good old boy network. Be bold and put a 30-year-old in an executive position. They have bold and better ideas; the rest of the steps are just mechanics.
