Outside of Redmond and Prod Mgmt/Dev, this company is Clueless in execution and Consumers
Pros: Very good pkg of training, especially for those in leadership positions as people managers.  You can be certain the people managers you have in MS will be properly prepared and resources are provided to ensure you are successful.
Cons: Too much resources renders a lot of people into lazy, incompent workers.  this is especially the case outside of Redmond away where there is a true spirit of innovation and hard-charging attitude.  the Intl subs are not the same.  Company is on defense all the time instead of playing offense.  e.g., sales is caught guilty of channel stuffing because of our dinosaur policy and program forces non-competitive products to be sold, so we had subs completely found guilty of stuffing channels to make their numbers.  Victim of the past success and living in the past glory.  Out of touch with the marketplace and reality.  Apple and Google are kicking our rear-ends.
