Great SLT but some very poor middle management
Pros: Great Technology, meaningful mission, ethics, brand. Some great people. Customers love the 'new' Microsoft due to realignment to sell services and industry specialisation.
Cons: Culture can be toxic and political if you work in sales. Some middle management can be poor and, if your face doesn't fit, your life can be made very difficult. I often work into the night and at weekends so the work/life balance isn't great. The stack-ranking system means that people are fighting with their team mates for recognition.
