Pros

They do try to take care of their people; although I suspect this has more to do with fear of losing them to competitors. Regional Senior Management is generally inspired and exceptionally competent; regrettably, they appear to be regularly undermined and overruled by the US Corporate HQ.

Cons

In my division, at least, the Corporate Management doesn't listen to the Senior Managers in the field, who know what they're doing. The company is unbelievably Redmond-centric considering how much they pride themselves on being global. The company resembles an innovator much less than it does an inept, bloated bureaucracy.

Pros

Unlimited growth potential. Opportunity to work in in virtually any IT technology area and apply yourself to virtually any field or industry in any professional capacity, from consumer to enterprise to public sector to education.

Cons

It is now a very large organization that requires extensive collaboration skills to engage and accomplish your goals. There is a lot of institutional momentum, so new ideas must be vigorously championed to have a chance. There is a Redmond centricity that is not consistant with today's trend towards distrubuted development.
