Slashdot linked to a blog post that has what’s said to be an internal Microsoft email with a comparison of working at Google versus working at Microsoft.
The email is an interview between an ex-Google employee who Microsoft hired. Here are my top hits from this email:

Yeh very interesting I used to work for BT in a larger development organization that G has
some of the comments are priceless :-) calling for people to be sacked though what for I don’t know – obviously written my Linux fan boys or hobby programmers who think there leet cos the can put a unbuntu cd in a disk drive.
Longer term
Looks like G has mega problems looming the quote “My manager had over 100 direct reports”
The mixed up report structures the guy reports is interesting makes my view expressed on threadwatch is theres a lot of lower quality stuff shoved out of the door without sufficient testing.
Not having a career path and extremely flat structures will hurt them in future I know as BT was the same.
