Little Fish Big Pond
Pros: -Benefits are truly unbelievable, even better than the high expectations I had
-Any type of job you are interested is available somewhere in the company
-Opportunity to transfer internationally is supported
-Work with the best of the best, everyone is truly exceptional and each day you learn something new
Cons: -Many of the positions at Microsoft only exist at this company (with respect to Finance), there are many positions created just to deal with the over-matrixed organization and the size of the company, for example there are rare opportunities to manage a full P&L
-The size of the company makes it difficult to feel like you are making a difference
-Highly competitive environment can be discouraging
