A Good Place to Start Your Career
- You have great coworkers to learn from.
- Good 401K and health benefits.
- Company is cooling down technologically.
- Company is losing significant amounts of talent in mid-level and senior bands, while attracting mostly junior people.
- Being a very mature company, promotions are seldom.
- Work-life balance has vanished as the company is focused on services.

- Build an internal culture; the six Microsoft core values are all, but I forgot.
- Improve leadership in the company, having direct, solid communication with regular employees, thus inspiring them.
- Implement step-up compensation to be competitive with Amazon, Facebook, and Google, and go beyond, thus compensating for decelerating overall company speed and growth.
- Do not treat longer-tenured employees as a given.
- Attract and retain talent.
