Microsoft Anonymous in Redmond, WA:   (Past Employee - 2008)

Pros

The culture is professional yet relaxed. Generally a strong work ethic. No "clocking in" type culture, more important that your job gets done well and not that you are sitting at your desk at 8.30am every day - if you want to do your job until the wee hours the offices are open 24.7 to you. Relaxed culture, challenging, innovative. Great benefits. Exciting projects - global environment - diversity

Cons

Ambiguity about projects. Lack of recognition of a job well done. "Ramp up" for new employees can be sketchy and overwhelming - this area could be improved upon greatly.
Traveling more than 65% takes time out from family.

Advice to Senior Management

More centric new employee "ramp up" process to include systems/sharepoints/groups/ etc.
