Great company with positive potential
Pros: This is a great company with smart, great people. The benefits are decent, although not what they once were. New CEO holds promise of fresh direction and focus as a more cohesive culture, and is actively making these changes across the company. Strong research and development to push into hot areas, and still capable of entering new markets as a key player, though not as completely dominant as before.
Cons: Microsoft is a huge company, so things still tend to move rather slowly. There is a move to bring people together in one place, eliminating telecommuting and private offices for shared work spaces.
