Great company but filled with redundant individuals
Pros: Fantastic benefits and due to the size of the organisation with variation of products there is potential to develop your career and skills in a number of facets.
Cons: Complex and rigid processes and procedures make most tasks a challenge.  In addition, departments tend to have more of a "small company" feel rather than feeling part of the broader Microsoft vision.  Biggest turn off is the number of personnel in a management position who have never managed outside of Microsoft and therefore lack any real management experience or skills.  Huge "boys club" mentality found in the Corporate functions of old.
