Employment status: current

Satifying career path, but couldn't escape the feeling that the company was a dinosaur
Pros: It's true that MS continues to hire very smart people, some of the best I've ever worked with. I worked with very strong teams and highly creative people in my organization. Oh, and the benefits are incredible.
Cons: Unfortunately over time those people lose their creative edge and ability to drive really exciting things for the business.  Executive leadership is too afraid to take risks and seems out of touch with customer needs. In my opinion, people end up spending a lot of time managing internal politics rather than external opportunities.
