Disappointing
Pros: Amazing benefits, great salary, fabulous opportunities to attend events and network with industry leaders, great products (i.e. Office) and abilty to try out new products before they reach the market.
Cons: If you get in a group that values your skills and wants to move you forward in your career, you're lucky. My experience was to be manged in place for four years in a dead-end, unchallenging, unrewarding job, which was beneath my skill level, by a manager who was more concerned with hiding his incompetence than elevating employees who could truly make a difference. I'm now a contractor, doing what I should have done from the start.
