Not right away, but eventually MS "old boy network" cancer will metastasize there and push all the good people out, just like it did in every single other acquisition. This problem is not unique to Microsoft: other large companies have it too. But it is more acute, because at MS the old boys network is utterly incompetent, completely entrenched, and the company is 100% top-down. Frontline devs are expected to do as they are told, and are considered to be expendable "resources". In contrast, at SV companies managers are more expendable than good engineers.
