Smart people, deep pockets... great if you live in Redmond
Pros: Outstanding benefits and lots of smart, passionate people. Company has a long-term commitment to markets and initiatives. No shortage of vision.
Cons: Limited career growth in remote sites (like at the Silicon Valley / Mountain View location). Slow to adapt to market changes. "Shrink-wrapped software" development approach not apprioriate for Web2.0 cloud-based products.
