MSFT - no longer the fun company it once was
Pros: Benefits and flexible work schedule.
Cons: Expected to work 50-60 hr weeks. Often with little acknowledgement while others getting credit. Annual review process is completely unfair as everyone gets stack ranked against peers and then forced into a bell curve. This then distributes merit and bonus accordingly. Doing one's job function flawlessly may still result in a below par review. Upward mobility and rewards are often extremely political. Bonus scales are ridiculously tipped to upper management.
