Overall rating: 4/5
Employment status: current

My job and work experience has been very positive, but I am frustrated by the company's direction.
Pros: A results orient work environment, lots of freedom and flexibility, a diversity of very smart people, lots of opportunities for career growth, travel,  and the resources to make an impact.
Cons: Microsoft has a lot of redundancy, inefficiency, and is prone to waste. There is poor coordination between business units and a lack of transparency with partners and customers. Entrepreneurial spirit is present and fostered, but the environment to let it flourish and succeed is not.
