Pros

$5000 in lifestyle benefits per year 10 mental health days 2 weeks vacation Great culture of openness and support - if you're struggling or need help with something then help is readily available Quarterly "work togethers" in remote hubs Work closely with a team Almost anyone in the company is easy to get a meeting with and open to you reaching out

Cons

Only remote work available - if that's not your thing then it might be a tough job Being on live channels (calls, chats) makes it difficult to move around during your shift Work life balance is sometimes hard to maintain depending on your shift time, some people find it difficult to disconnect

Pros

- Kind and talented co-workers - Generous AI token spend - Fairly transparent company (has been getting less transparent over the years) - Lots of opportunity for impact

Cons

- Product management discipline is quite lacking since the new CTO joined - Microsoft culture is adding more chaos and stress, and causing projects to actually go slower - Managers are afraid to tell the truth to Mikhail about the loopholes in engineering; they just want to look good, so they rush their teams to ship crap - Top engineering leaders are moving out of management roles or leaving the company - Tobi used to be far more involved in ensuring a high engineering bar, but seems to have handed over the reins to the new Microsoft regime
