Pros

Awesome health insurance. Good compensation. Huge with plenty of opportunities to work on different types of projects. Plenty of commute options and good focus on customers and employee satisfaction.

Cons

Expectations of the test can be unreasonable and uninspiring.

Culture and work environment are very uneven from group to group.

Ballmer and many other senior managers are out of touch.

Flat stock performance for a decade.

Advice to Management

Fire Balmer and get someone who has a soul and can inspire people for the next era of Microsoft's growth.
