      Politics + too many resources - alignment = opportunities lost

      Pros

      The benefits at Microsoft are fantastic and it is a great brand name to have on your resume. Also, there is the opportunity to move around to new businesses and new roles.

      Cons

      While there are many smart people at Microsoft, many unfortunately choose to concentrate on jockeying for position rather than ensuring that the company is winning. Even worse is that there are some managers who cultivate this and cloak themselves with cronies and yes-men. Also frustrating is the extremely matrixed nature of most groups.

      Once great company needs to slim down to thrive again.

      Pros

      The people challenge you. The projects have global impact. The benefits are unmatched. When you call anyone in any industry, they'll call you back. In some divisions you can enjoy the autonomy of an entrepreneur backed by the resources of a... well a Microsoft.

      Cons

      I spent 25% of my time trying to confirm that one of the other 50,000 employees wasn't working on the exact same project I was. I spent another 25% of my time using PowerPoint to convince execs that I should be allowed to do the job I was hired to do. I had 50% left to do email, meetings and the work I was hired to do - each of these three was a 40 hour work week so it required prioritization and expectation setting to have a life.

      MGS doing well overall but needs to focus

      Pros

      Benefits, and time off. Good management in the marketing org.

      Cons

      It is political and there is a lack of dev talent. This was a publishing company that is now trying to do dev and instead they focus on distractions outside the core competency of developing games.
