Every corporation sucks in some way ... and if there isn't a minimsft equivalent for Google/Apple ... that's a point in Microsoft's favor.

Sorry, but your post is complete nonsense.

In my experience, all medium and large organizations in this industry have a very unique culture that affects everything they do. For better or worse, there's nothing like working at Microsoft. Personally, having the valuable opportunity to see it up close, I would never work there and I'm not surprised to read the accounts of those who have worked there.

Dude, those 2 sentences contradict each other ... you either worked there and know what you're talking about, or not.

Did you miss the "having the valuable opportunity to see it up close" part?

How can you possibly arrive at this conclusion? Are you implying Apple and Google censor and/or brainwash their workforce to think they are perfectly happy?

Maybe not Google...

A simpler explanation is that their employees simply like make cutting-edge, successful products they can be proud of.
