Pros

Great worker benefits. The physical site is top-notch.

Cons

In my experience, Microsoft has a culture that fosters individual advancement and achievements over group success.

They do NOT understand that usability must be "baked in" from the design stage onward. They think it is pasted on after design is complete.

They promote people to management based on product success, not leadership ability.

Advice to Management

Rethink your culture.
