Doesn't Approve of CEO
Pros

If you get into a good group, you can work on some exciting things and with some great people. It looks good on a resume.

Cons

There is a lot of bureaucracy that causes the company to move slowly on almost everything they do. The upper management seems incompetent and unable to adapt or innovate.

Advice to Management

Get rid of the current CEO (Ballmer must go) and put someone in charge that is not a salesman.

Find someone to lead the company that can innovate and take risks.
