Pros

- Work with some of Canada's smartest people - Tons of room for person al growth - Strong percentage of colleagues show initiative and ownership

Cons

- Rapidly changing (good and bad); easy to throw hands up and tell yourself this is not what I signed up for - There is a lot of people in new positions that need more training or are still getting used to their new responsibilities - Software is stressful, things that can go wrong do. It's not easy.

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
