Great company, with a lot of cash but they don't know how to use it
Pros: It's a great company, and while working there I felt very proud to be part of it. The licensing/software side of the business, which is their cash cow is fantastic and a true example of what a company should do
Cons: For MS Advertising they had so many opportunities to be the #1, yet they managed to destroy value. They bought aQuantive for 6.4 billion dollars and they wrote it off last year, I find this amazing! You want them to do well..but management always screws it up
