Pros

Skype is part of Microsoft so you get to be involved with lots of cool things that are happening across Microsoft and in the world of tech Good benefits You get to work with lots of clever people The products you work on are used by hundreds of millions of people

Cons

Organisation structure was continuously being changed so it was difficult to develop a sense of ownership for a particular area or to build strong relationships with stakeholders Lack of focus and changing strategy Focus on features and requirements to fit Microsoft's needs took priority on improvements to meet customer needs

Pros

Before Microsoft, it was a great place: innovative, dynamic, full of hard-working individuals that loved what they worked on and felt they could make a difference.

Cons

Microsoft is a highly political organisation: you are judged on what you say rather than what you do. This has led to many great employees leaving as they are not politicians.
