Microsoft

The environment is rich in resources.

Benefits are good.

Health insurance is outstanding.

Very diverse work environment.

Good cafeterias, cheap food.

The work environment is flooded with cheap overseas labor.

Salaries are low.

Review structure is completely opaque. Promotion paths are opaque.

Employees are at the whim of their managers. Microsoft managers are the best double talkers in the world. They receive special training.

Quit taking initiatives. Managers and employees at all levels are required to initiate just about anything. At each level, employee initiatives are driven by their managers' initiatives. They are so desperate to take on an initiative that will let them stand out that managers often take on tasks that make no sense and pass them on to subordinates.
