Overall rating: 2/5
Employment status: current

Been a great place to work, but is definitely in decline
Pros: -Talented people
-Get to have high impact in the field
-Work with cutting edge technologies
-Company is invested in growing its people
Cons: -Senior management seems out of touch with employers and the market
-Slow to adapt to changes in the market
-Windows is a "golden handcuff", too valuable to abandon, but limits how company can react to external opportunities
-Employee compensation is based on a curve, thus you never are truly invested in "making others great" as the company claims and never can get a truly objective reading on where you stand until performance review time comes around
