Bad new Microsoft
Pros: Nice benefits package. You can work average if you expect average payment. If you can find the "right group", if such exists, you can grow in the company.
Cons: Too political place. Everything has to make everybody happy, which makes things not work after all. Usually you get stuck with lousy explanations on why you can't get a raise, a promotion or bonus. Most of the time the managers are "with their hands tied" to get you the rewards.
