Pros

You can choose to have a great work-life balance. It's a great place to work for people who are sick of moving around and are looking for a convenient, comfortable lifestyle.

Cons
  • Stagnant
  • Workplace politics
  • Incompetent, unimaginative leadership.
  • Customers come last; bosses come first.
  • Low hiring bar for top management.
  • Steve Ballmer along with his team of marketers and salesmen.
  • No passion for technology.
  • Performance comes last in product development. Feature creep done for empire building.
Advice to Management

Fire Ballmer; get a techie to lead the company.

Your boss might determine your pay, but our customers pay for all of us.
