Pros

Great people, friendly, talented, and open. But this is the Bing team.

Great benefits: stocks, allowances, and flexible hours.

All depends on your manager.

Steve Ballmer is gone

Changing culture after Satya came, becoming more or moving towards a more agile company (trying to instill the startup culture).

Cons

Company is huge and takes a lot of time to act on opportunities (but changing).

It undervalues employees compared to Redmond since there is a huge currency difference and market prices are very low.

Advice to Management

Stick with it and don't give up easily on new ventures. Take risks and persist.
