Company: Microsoft

Overall rating: 3/5
Employment status: former
Experience level: Senior

Career focus outweighs customer focus, but pockets of great culture
Pros: Brilliant people, mature process, agility within the company to move positions, disciplines and jobs, world class training opportunities
Cons: Broken review system; employees are encouraged more to manage perception and focus more on "what can make me look good" rather than being encouraged to focus on building world class customer experiences.  Too much time spent worrying about prettying up presentations to appease senior management and not enough time spent by the same senior management to keep a pulse on organizational health.
