A mixed bag
Pros: You'll work with really smart people
The benefits, if no longer excellent, are still better than average
If you work in the greater Northwest, the campus is very nice
Still innovating . . . in some areas
New CEO starting off well
Cons: Many, many, many layers of old-style managers
Vicious internal politics at corporate
Scary how internally focused it is -- Microsoft people spend most of their time presenting to other Microsoft people --very Alice in Wonderland
