You assume all of these companies still exist to defend themselves. Many abused their employees, lied to them, exploited them through lots of crunching, and then went under leaving their employees high and dry. In many cases the founders go and do it all over again.
I've seen some out of control, basically crazy shit going on inside of MS relatively recently. I mean totally crazy, abusive, insane stuff. So this definitely colors my opinion of this corporation.

With that being said, I know that MS is trying to change and there are good teams there. But there are clusters of insanity there too. I do respect MS's software greatly (I use it every single day).

My original point was never about MSFT, just my feeling that what you post doesn't help anyone without more specifics. I don't doubt bad tech companies exist and even that MSFT has groups within it that aren't/weren't great. But knowing who to avoid before you join is key.
