Microsoft – “Still a great company, but ... lost thought leadership to Goog, APPL”

Pros

incredible resources, full of smart people, nice atmosphere, plenty of different career opportunities, huge portfolio of products, sustainable long-term business

Cons

the salad days are over, and the process for doing things is laborious; Microsoft gets in its own way a great deal of the time; trying too hard to be all things to all people so the USP is hard to nail and communicate to customers, too focused on reviews and leveling, too bureaucratic
