Tough to get anything done
Pros: Smart people but not really. I worked at other tech companies and I think Microsoft gets more than its fair portion of sales like personalities. I think that's both good and bad. The best tech is being made here by just a handful of people but with the worst implementation cause the focus is to sell not make something great.
Cons: Culture is rough and overly regimented. I mean Jesus did you see some of the polices around reviews in the past and on employee mis classifications, only place your LT will frown on you for treating a contractor who does real work important to the company like a colleague. I mean there is a lot of detachment from the real world but who knows that maybe a good thing to some degree.
