Thoughts after 18 years
Pros: - Great technology company. With Satya at the helm seems poised to do great things. 
- Benefits are still good, 
- Loved the flexibility that I had in my various roles to have work/life balance (wasn't always the case but I learned and my management supported it)
Cons: - Company still slow to respond to consumers - need to be able to react faster to customers wants/demands
- Still too many processes/procedures to get things done - we talk about doing things faster/better but we add in another system which slows things down
- Review system still has issues - in spite of "bell curve" being replaced
- Still have tendency to hire people who don't want to manage a team
