Microsoft - Large complex organization with no consistent corporate culture.
Pros: Resource and investment for doing big things.  Smart people work there. Diversity of opportunities within one company.  Great benefits and a strong diverse culture.
Cons: The process for making decision is bogged down in long planning cycles and insufficient time to see organizational change actually happen.  The focus on promotion and performance is focused on communications style and not results.  There is spoken concern for the employee, but little representation in the employee satisfaction driven by those who are promoted.
