      Microsoft has grown up and doesn't play well with others

      Software design engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You get to meet and work with some great people from around the country and and around the world.

      Cons

      Some people are cut throat about what they will do to other employees to get ahead. This is especially true now that Microsoft is a big company and the stock is not performing. If you're fresh out of school, you will get fewer opportunities to put your skills to the test. There's a long line of older and more senior employees looking for opportunities to get ahead. They don't like to share. If you have a disability, HR may try to use constructive discharge to get rid of you. This can also happen as you approach the age where you are protected from age discrimination.

      Microsoft-The cure for what sales you

      Sales manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits, probably the best in the industry

      Cons

      Not at all a sales environment. The opportunity to really sell does not exist, as the comp plans, managemnet, and company orientation are all mired in the mid-80's 80's belief that the stock price will grow and split over and over. The stock hasn't split in 8 years, and like many technology firms, has sat at roughly 1/3 of it's bubble peak. But unlike other companies, Microsoft believes that they do not have to face this reality. Accordingly, it hires, retains and promotes a sales culture that doesn't sell, but visits. There is no relationship between activity and closing business in the competitive server space, and worse, if you try to sell into that space, you are vilified by the "resting and vesting" culture.
