HORRIBLE sales culture, backstabbing and manipulative
Pros: Good brand name, company has great positioning for the future. Microsoft and Apple are the only 2 legacy companies within the top 5 market cap, it shows that corporate leadership has mostly made the right calls.
Cons: Speaking from a sales perspective, Microsoft has a terrible culture of political maneuvering and backstabbing. The managers are very low on integrity and will throw any of their people under the bus to put a dime in their pocket or not hold accountability. But as soon as a big deal lands everyone wants to take credit, if something falls through fingers are pointed. There is also a clique of managers that are "good ol boys". If you don't fit their profile and you're not in the circle, they don't do anything for you.
