A whirl-wind experience, but loved every minute of it.
Pros: -Enjoyed the work that I was involved in and the close connection of people I worked with on a daily basis.
-Great building to work in--lots of light, open space.
-Flexible hours/ability to work from home when needed
-Opportunity to be involved in projects I was interested in within my department.
-Fantastic direct report!
Cons: -I came from Nokia in the acquisition by Microsoft, so my experience is somewhat unusual. It was difficult for us in the transition to become a part of Microsoft, but I do believe over time that it has gotten better.
-Microsoft has people work very intently on what their specific job entails. There is not a lot of room to go outside of your silo.
