Overall, a positive experience over 14 years with the company
Pros: One of the best things about MSFT has always been the ability to take on very different roles and to work across any number of businesses. Benefits of course of first rate.
Cons: While the recently made modifications to address issues, I have seen and personally experiences the oddities created by the MSFT's curve-based, stack-rank performance review system. The level of micromanagement my senior leaders are guilty of is also a big negative for those with a number of years or solid experience and a strong record of results.
