Why does Glassdoor highlight positive reviews?
Pros: There are some very smart people, and some of the work is interesting.
Cons: The company is so inwardly focused.  Decisions are made based on what lets managers and execs check boxes on the internal scorecard and get their bonuses.  Employees are still ranked and reviewed on a curve, no matter what the company says about having changed the system.  And many people are still treated very unfairly.  The people who thrive at Microsoft are those who absolutely drink the koolaid, and focus on managing up.
