Pros

Great benefits. You work with "grown ups" who know what they're doing and have done it for a while. They recognize and accept that you have a life outside of work.

Cons

The stock price is not doing anything. You won't retire as a millionaire without making it to the top levels.

Advice to Management

Management is paranoid about affecting the sacred cows of Windows and Office. This means that we don't even try anything that might threaten those businesses, and let our competitors take the leadership in new businesses.
