Employment status: current

There is no TEAM in I
Pros: The pay and benefits at Microsoft are incredibly good, especially the benefits. You also get a lot of intellectual stimulation and are challenged. Change is the norm at this company, and dramatic changes happen at least once a year.
Cons: Team is a bad word. It is VERY individual-focused and very results driven. The benefits that corp employees get (such as free public transportation, deep health club discounts, lunch delivery to your office...) is VASTLY different than the field offices (we have JUST implemented a subsidized public transportation program, and it is only temporary). Your career choices in the field are limited (the field is where we sell), and if you want to move to something different, you have to move to Redmond.
