Great Leadership, Bad Middle Management
Pros: The leadership is placing bets on strategic areas that will have long lasting benefits and returns for its employees, shareholders and investors.  Satya and his lieutenants are a breath of fresh air and their vision is the right one for the company.
Cons: Middle management is really, really bad.  We don't hire industry leaders, we hire friends of friends, who are competent in the fields they come from, but in the fields they are being hired into.  It's quite discouraging for those that have been there with the company for a couple of years.
