Great company but limited mobility
Pros: Industry leader, on a ride after a few years of decline. Lots of smart people, challenges and global impact. Hard to find many other companies like MS. Culture is improving, more accountability and customer focus
Cons: 100k+ people. Lot's of politics, particularly in Redmond. Lots of people can say no, sometimes is unclear who can actually say yes and has the resources to implement. Opportunities to advance are limited (career velocity has slowed down a lot). Career mobility has also slowed down as moving from group to group seems harder
