Xavier Morera on the Microsoft culture:
>MS Consulting IMHO was not what it could be, I worked there too and they have extremely good technical people, but the only thing a lot of them seem to be passionate about is being a Microsoft employee and not building amazing stuff. Besides, a lot of them look down on other companies when they shouldn’t.

Xavier is not alone, since posting my [Ballmer piece](http://brooksreview.net/2011/05/ballmer/) I have received tons of email from current and former employees and consultants all sharing the same sentiment.
