Pros

Good paying job, lots of good peers, lots of work to be done, profitable company, nice area if you like the outdoors.

Cons

But, if you're in the top of your field, Microsoft is definitely not the place to work anymore. You won't get the necessary opportunity to stand out.

Advice to Management

Recognize that Windows and Office are on their way out and start taking real risks with your products. Put top people behind the initiatives.
