Pros
  • A great company for learning new technologies.
  • Great set of people who would like to share their knowledge.
  • Sometimes team dependent, but mostly people value your views and they try to understand and appreciate them.
Cons
  • So many changes in the internal structure of the company may make you feel directionless.
  • Most of the UI work is inspired by other companies, making Microsoft lose its identity.
Advice to Management

Support lateral hires as much as you do college hires.

Moving to an open-space work culture will destroy the productivity of people. It is actually doing that right now.
