Pros

Work with smart people.

Excellent discounts on software.

Amazing benefits package.

Compensation and work environment are very good, and the company doesn't scrimp on equipment.

Cons

Too political in middle management.

Steve is not the leader Bill was; now it's all about the money.

Reviews are based on a curve rather than individual merit.

Advice to Management

Lose the big company mentality to avoid becoming another IBM. The old Microsoft felt like a startup with plenty of exciting things to do.
