Good benefits, but difficult to progress

Redmond, Washington
2.0
Approves of CEO
Pros

The benefits cover almost everything. The health benefit is awesome, with support from the company at every step and, of course, the Microsoft name.

Cons

Lack of growth, working in Microsoft technologies reduces your chance to change jobs, i.e., your market valuation. Recent layoffs and bad performance of stocks in the market also contribute.

Advice to Management

Transparency in company strategies and open up to open source development. Internally, innovation should be evaluated properly, and execution should be valued ahead of reporting.
