Experience level: Senior

A great company on an upward trajectory
Pros: Great colleagues and a good environment to work. A really good culture and the company value are strong. The renewed focus on Cloud is the right direction the company should be taking. The Surface range of products is also very good.  Excellent Senior leadership (at last!). Would like to see decent dividend payout as a shareholder.
Cons: Still has the ability to make poor acquisitions such as Nokia and Linked in. Some of the management one layer down are not particularly strong. The company is still a bit bloated and needs to slim down more, particularly in Marketing.
