Hey, there! Thanks for leaving a review, it's really appreciated! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed your time with us while you were here. It's true that the workload can be tough sometimes, especially as the platform grows to accommodate more and more merchants. Here, we are merchant obsessed: Merchants depend on us to invent products that allow them to support their livelihoods. That being said, it is important to take time for yourself so you can relax and recharge. No one can work to the best of their abilities if they are feeling stressed or overworked, so it is definitely recommended to make use of personal days when needed. Vacation days too! Thanks again for leaving a 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
