Pros

Good salary, sign-on stock bonus.

Good health benefits, not so good anymore.

Advice to Management

Change the performance review system to encourage co-operation and knowledge sharing among employees.

Managers need to ensure that the team's attitude towards new employees is one of inclusion. Make it easy for them to adapt to the new product, teammates, and processes at Microsoft.
