      Great job, bad location.

      Pros

      Microsoft offers comprehensive training right from the start, so it is a great place to hone your knowledge and skills of not only Microsoft products, but of the dominant products in the industry. Microsoft Unified Communications software is excellent for employee to employee communications, and internal efficiency.

      Cons

      Microsoft has yet to invest fully into China, so you are still working in a developing country. The office environment was bland, and Chinese regulations can be tough when it comes to heating and cooling. You boil in the summer, and freeze in the winter.

      Great Company, excellent benefits, many opportunities

      Pros

      Fantastic benefits, lots of opportunities to move to new roles, able to assume as much responsible as you're willing to take on. I spent 20 years building and managing my own business and I can't think of another large company, other than Microsoft, where I'd have as much opportunity to work in an entrepreneurial way.

      Cons

      Heavily matrixed organizational structure which can lead to a lot of bureaucracy and difficulty with making things happen quickly. Low and mid level managers are inexperienced and need development. GM level management has a tendency to spend more time managing up and parallel and not much time managing down.
