Experience level: Senior

A once great company that has lost its way in a sea of politics, destructive stack ranking and micro managed scorecards.
Pros: Some smart people work at Microsoft
Physical working conditions are great
Cons: Teamwork destroying Stack Ranking
Rewards for playing politics rather than doing a good job
Mindless bureacracy and pointless processes
Poor strategic direction
Centralised control via inflexible scorecards. You expend effort on colouring in scorecards even when it is clearly the wrong use of resources
