Great company aspirations, problematic Online Services division
Pros: Iconic American technology company; Commitment to do good for all stakeholders, from employees to investors to customers to host communities. Example of good citizenship very visible throughout the Puget Sound region.
Cons: Online Services Division (Bing, MSN, Advertising Solutions) in a trailing market position, and morale suffers from that and stigma of large operating losses. Large division size and functional specialization make it difficult to absorb market dynamics and "move fast and iterate".
