Good place to work, but not the great company it used to be
Pros: * Big company means lots of career opportunities.
* Great benefits program for you and your family.
* Depending on the Team, work/life balance is possible.
* Lots of smart people to work with and to compete against.
Cons: * Big company means lots of process and/or repetitive process.
* Loyalty factor is blemished given Microsoft claims economy is impacting them and laid-off strong performing employees with companywide job eliminations.  This in turn puts a permanent blemish on their loyalty factor for those working or thinking of working there in the future.
