Good Place to start your career
Pros: - You have great coworkers to learn from
- Good 401K and health benefits
Cons: - Company is cooling down technologically
- Company is loosing significant amount of talent in mid level and senior bands, while is attracting mostly junior people
- Being a very mature company, promotions are seldom
- Work-life balance has vanished as the company is focused on Services
- Salaries are not adequately indexed with inflation : after 6 years with Microsoft and 3 level up I received a less valuable compensation than a fresh employee out of school with less responsibilities and experience
