Pros

Lots of cool technologies. Many leading products are developed at MS. Some teams value innovation, security, and quality, but not all.

Cons

Crowded place; can get easily lost there.

Incompetent managers.

The review system sucks big time.

The workplace can get very unfriendly because everybody fights for good reviews.

Advice to Management

Try to understand people better.

Don't just copy other companies; foster innovation inside the company as well.

The review system is crap.
