Overall rating: 3/5
Employment status: current

Comfortable place for good workers.  Hard place to push change.
Pros: It's a fairly easy lifestyle and work enviornment.  There is a high focus on personal quality of life and family.  A steady work ethic will establish a long stable life here.
Cons: Microsoft is run like many small companies that don't coordinate well.  While, it's trying to change the current climate an attidue makes it diffcult to try very different things.  And it's easy to see how the internal process has difficulty keep up with or leading in the competative landscape.  Passion about doing great things can get dampened pretty quick by institutional inertia and disagreement about how things should get executed.
