Disastrous
Pros: Microsoft takes good care of its employees in terms of health insurance and 401K.
Cons: Extremely political environment. You can rise only if you suck up to the ones above. A Microsoft employee pends 80% of your time playing games. The mornings are spent doing rounds of offices, saying hellos and whining and complaining. The rest of the 20% goes in figuring out who is doing what behind your back. No wonder their products fail. They are behind any other company. MSN particularly is a joke. Most of the managers i met had very little job skills, it is mostly a well known fact, especially amongst agencies, that a manager from MS would most likely be not qualified to do his job right. It shows in the work that is produced and the worst company culture that exists
