Great benefits, but lots of politics!

Pros

Good benefits, really flexible. I'm doing a master's at the same time, and Microsoft is reimbursing me for it.

Cons

Too many internal politics stifle good ideas; as a result, ambition isn't really rewarded – just get your work done.

Advice to Management

Don't allow the revenue-producing divisions dictate what the non-revenue producing divisions do.

Better organization between groups doing similar things would help too.
