Hey, thanks for the review. It's awesome to hear you've found space to grow; those opportunities are so important to grab when they come along! If you feel you are working longer hours than you are scheduled for, you should definitely get in touch with your Squad Lead about that right away. You are not expected to work longer than your scheduled hours. It's the responsibility of your lead to make sure you are equipped to manage your daily workload and not feel overwhelmed. So do please reach out if you feel it's a pain point for you! Regarding compensation, we frequently assess the salaries we provide to make sure they are competitive with the current marketplace. If this is something you'd like to discuss, you can definitely reach out to your HR representative to chat more about it! You can contact them yourself directly, or ask your Squad Lead to reach out on your behalf. 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
