Pros

- Organization full of talented professionals - Fast paced and willingness to learn and change - Opportunities to work across very different projects, roles and scope - Some very innovative products setting new standards for the industry - Ability to implement new ideas - Great resources to drive impact and a truly international company

Cons

- Work-life balance can be challenging. I witnessed a few people burn out yet it really depends on how you manage each situations - Compensation vs responsibilities. It is not unusual to get the scope and responsibilities of 2 or even 3 professionals would normally get in other companies but the compensation does not follow - Too focused on hitting quarterly targets versus long term strategy and driving disruptive innovation - exec in Redmond living in a bubble too far from the market reality across the globe

Pros

- tons of talented and super intelligent people you'd love to work with - high competitive salary and bonuses - good attitude to employees

Cons

- no respect to company that they bought, strictly adhering to a single way that SteveB widely advertised: "if the culture does not fit our business - we redistribute the company". - hungry for business requirements, never respect the product quality and end user experience, always competing like crazy
