Pros

Microsoft genuinely cares about its employees and is moving the culture in the right direction. It has all the opportunities and problems that a software engineer can dream to solve.

Cons

Microsoft can't rally the troops with a big mission.

As a result, a lot (not all, a lot) of senior employees are motivated by personal gain and are ready to game the system if need be.

Advice to Management
  1. Make hiring top talent from college a priority.
  2. Fire anyone who values themselves over customers and product.
