Pros

Good people. Friendly environment with good benefits. Focusing on introducing new products in the market. The new, bold Microsoft with a new CEO looks great!

Cons

Career development opportunities are good, but could be better.

The day-to-day technology use may not be satisfying for people looking forward to work in cutting-edge areas.

Sometimes the progress feels slow due to the politics of a big company.

Advice to Management

Raise the hiring bar. Interview many more people and make the filter narrow.
