A great company
Pros: Microsoft is a great company and a great company to work for. As a person who appreciates diversity and ethics, it would be hard to find a better company than Microsoft.
Cons: Lean has become the key attribute of success at many of today’s leading companies. At Microsoft however, it’s noticeably absent. Most of the Product managers I’ve worked with don’t even understand SCRUM, a methodology derived from TPS \ Lean. MS would be wise to look at how companies like Amazon and Nordstrom have implemented Lean in every area of the company.
