Pros

Snacks Culinary team is brilliant and friendly Nicely decorated office A few really nice and extremely smart people which I wish I could bring everywhere with me!

Cons

Horrible manager who couldn't care less about their reports, never helped when needed, just thought about the politics of every situation and how to make themselves look better. HR who pretends to care about you just to gather information in order to corner you and support your manager's bullying. Company wants all of you but if you need the minimum from them, God forbid you get sick; They will pretend sympathy, but get rid of you as soon as they can.

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
