Almost too big to find the right opportunity
Pros: Fast paced. Smart people. Resources, resources, resources. A lot of opportunity. Always a new challenge to conquer. Amazing campus (Redmond), with more amenities than most 5-star resorts.
Cons: Too many contingent staff and churn. Although resources exist everywhere, knowing how to tap the resources is a challenge. Us vs. them mentality still an issue, although new leadership appears to understand this is an issue and a place to focus. Long hours, although not always equal across all teams. Impossible to identify the culture - work place norms differ substantially from group to group.
