Pros

Honestly, there are some really great people at Microsoft. My immediate staff are pleasant to be around, and my boss is nice. But it is very team dependent.

Cons

They do not pay as much as other big tech companies. The culture has gone downhill a little bit in the past couple years, and there is a bad job of job/task assignment.

Advice to Management

Be clear about what you want from your employees. Pay the market rate.
