Pros

If you have a family with dependents to care for, then the benefits are great. I suspect that's the primary reason many average people hang on to Microsoft.

Cons

In some groups, you have really bad management. Over time, cronies and yes-men have been promoted to mid to senior managerial positions. The saying that A's hire other A's and B's hire C's and D's can be seen in action in some of these groups. If, as a new hire, you end up in one of these places, life can be miserable.

Advice to Management
