Good Company, bad middle management.
Pros: You work with some of the brightest people in the business, you work on cutting edge technology and work on products that millions use. 
New CEO, Satya, is invigorating the company with fresh ideas.
Cons: Microsoft is a great company, however, the company is ruined by its bulging middle.
There are too many cooks in the kitchen, add the flawed performance management system to the mix and you get a perfect cocktail for self destruction. The rotten culture played out in how the battle for mobile was first ignored and then lost by the company. And this is the company which had the first usable smartphone on the market... how the mighty have fallen !! Even with such astounding losses, not much has changed. It seems that, there is severe lack of accountability at the senior and middle level management layer.
