Pros

The pros are a great, diverse environment for exposure to different cultures, fast-moving projects, and focused individuals.

Cons

The cons are incompetent managers who are ruled by greed and fear.

Advice to Management

Microsoft used to have the best OS and was a fun, exhausting, and brilliant environment. With the 400 levels of management introduced, everything grinds to an incompetent halt. Test your new hire managers. Some of them are "nice" but dumb as a stick. And try not to sell your soul just for a terrible product. ; )
