      Incompetent middle management fat with no clues about the search or ad industry needs liposuction fast!

      Pros

      You will work with many bright people Challenging business and technology problems Executive leadership's focus and determination Opportunities across the company Great benefits

      Cons

      A big layer of incompetent middle managers especially in Director and Senior Director levels. Most of these folks came from "old" Microsoft. These would be Windows and Office orgs which function as the DMV. These middle managers are completely clueless in an intensely competitive online business . They are past a point where they can learn and grow. Most often, there is no interest in learning or understanding the nitty gritty details. These people operate with their acquired political acumen and want to "wing it" while making decisions without doing any necessary homework. For many of them, "extra-curricular" activities are priorities than real work. In a business where Microsoft is struggling, this middle management fat needs to be mercilessly sliced away if the company wants to improve its market share and perception.
