Pros

Extremely talented people work for Microsoft, doing extraordinary things for the customer, making it a great place to learn a lot really fast.

  • Well above average pay and benefits
Cons

The performance review process still stack ranks employees, as it always has since the Gates era. It's just that the words "stack ranked" aren't used anymore. While I agree that a lot of change has been made in this area, more work is needed.

Advice to Management

Listen to your people with more compassion and empathy.
