Pros
Free drinks Free snacks Free Shuttle (redmond)
Cons
everything! Microsoft is on a free fall, most employees are unhappy and although they pretend otherwise every body knows it is a lost game for Microsoft. 1) Partners are leaving Microsoft like autumn leaves falling off of a tree, Microsoft hires and in contrary to what satya mumbles continuous to hire stereo types employee who know nothing about business and how to treat partners and clients, most MS FTE employees thiink company is doing well - from consumption to technology MS has nothing to offer - shamelessly copis from Apple and evern small startups to hang there as portray company as cool - it is quite sad. Company needs a blood transfusion here are my 2cents 1) Fire all of your Partner XX (PTS , PAM, ...) they are not doing anything 2) Change v- to FTE this is not 1800 - leanrn from civil movement- your name is no longer good on resume as most companies resent you - you are equal to wallmart ! 3) Stop buying technologies you were not able to expand and stop killing them - I mean mobile and phone business - side kick - Nokia ! come on you know you cant do this 4) Stop copy cating small open source companies - you have already lost the boat - too late too little so dont mess with IoT and Raspberry pi and Arduino and Adafruit - no matter how many times ou print their logo and beg you will never be an Open source company 5) Hire smart people not snobs 6) Provide value - what is the WPC (world partner conference ?!) why on earth they should pay $2500 + to attend a measly marketing event to watch how you fixed your last bugs 7) Stop selling open source technogies and call it your Azure cloud - Hadoop is Google's open source technology learn how to invent and stop selling it as a hosting platform for your low quality Data centers 8) Provide a decent innovation center - stop coping oculus drift 9) Your interview and on boarding process is hideous
