Ineffectual promotions based on "special consideration"
Great place to work and learn. Lots of freedom.
If you're technical, the only way to advance is to go into management. Lots of outsourcing, lots of foreigners. Lots of racial and gender diversity (aka: discrimination...aka "special consideration").
Career advancement should be earned.
Way too many ineffectual people are getting promoted.
Microsoft isn't innovating. The only thing Microsoft can do is buy companies that have already done the innovation.
