Great Place to Work but not in Services Sales
Pros: Overall, MSFT is a great place to work.  Love the breadth of products and industries that MSFT pursues.  People a generally respectful and smart.
Cons: Working in MSFT Services is one of the most difficult jobs at MSFT.  Trying to sell MSFT Services is riduculous.  There is a lot of overhead in the organization.  Many different teams are trying to create offerings but many of these offerings do not meet market demand and/or are not well put together.  The price of MSFT consulting is driven up by this overhead.  Services Executives are asked to sell the "value" of MSFT Services and stop complaining about our rates.
