Pros

Opportunity to work on products that reach out to millions of consumers.

High brand value, talented peer group, get to work on challenging engineering problems.

Cons

The company has become somewhat mature, which means there is red tape, especially in performance evaluation.

Growth opportunities have become slower.

Advice to Management

The hiring standard is going down, at least in the India R&D center (Hyderabad).

Getting into Microsoft is not all that tough these days compared to a few years back.

I would suggest that the interviewing standards are raised.
