      It's over...

      Pros

      - Good pay and excellent benefits - Free snacks and good quality food at cafeteria - Opportunities for career advancement - many senior people leaving.

      Cons

      This was once a company with great culture of innovation and cutting-edge technology. It has degenerated into a sad state, where mediocrity rules. New products are being developed based on old, obsolete technologies (hello Flash and ExtJS). Most of the talented engineers have already left. Some senior (and I mean "senior") engineers are still there - unable and unwilling to adopt evolving technology landscape.

      Disappointing

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay, bonuses, raises. Physical environment.

      Cons

      Toxic culture. Backstabbing. Managers who haven't a clue how to manage. No leadership at the middle management level. They just gossip about each other and their employees. Too much power in a few hands. Over past 3 years it's gotten worse, the emperor is wearing no clothes but no one had a guts to stand up to the one or two "bullies" who call the shots and are driving products into the ditch.

      A pit of politics, preferential treatment, poor management, and out-of-control egos

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Interesting technology. A decent cafeteria (and nice cafe staff)

      Cons

      Loaded with barely competent front-line staff. You know the type... All "CYA" and no real effort. Many incompetents promoted to mid-level management. You know how... Connections. Upper management that pits team against team. You know the type... Ballmer acolytes. Too many folks too scared of keeping their cushy position to be genuine.
