Hey, thanks so much! It's great to hear you enjoy working with us. The products we build here are critical to our merchants' livelihoods and the success of their businesses. Our employees are vital to that product, so we absolutely care! The workload can be tough; especially as the platform grows and we have more and more merchants to support. Your wellbeing is important, so do be sure to reach out to your Squad Lead or HR rep if you would like to request some personal time to rest! In the meantime, I can pass your feedback along to our Support Solutions team so they are aware of this pain point. Thank you again for the review!

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
