Microsoft – “Great people - too much bureocracy”

Pros

Great people, benefits, work/life balance (if one takes cares of it), unlimited resources either money or headcount), global footprint, installed base of legacy systems (OS and Office)

Cons

lack of accountability for leadership, complex structure makes hard to manage, cross-group collab or achieve results. slow moving. All decisions made by CEO slows down innovation path

Advice to Senior Management

Renew leadership, focus on less few important things and stop the childish attitude of anything non Microsoft being evil (iPhone, Macs, Google, Adobe, etc).
