What it's like to work at Microsoft?
Pros: Diversity in people, some of the smartest people I'd ever worked with, good breadth of technology and opportunity.
Cons: Microsoft is a big machine with a software production line mentality and quality is often de-prioritized. It is so wealthy that money is wasted, especially in IT.  Management is given full authority to disregard the health and well being of their direct reports and HR no longer represents the non-manager employees.
