Hey, thanks for taking the time to leave a review! I agree that focussing on your goals is key to keeping on track. It is easy to get distracted with so many options! This industry is super interesting for sure; it grows fast and changes direction even faster. Thriving on change is something we value highly, so as the problem changes, so must we change the solution. The rapid growth we've seen in the last few months is a testament to how quickly we were able to come up with creative solutions to real-world problems. It's so great to see such a high rating, 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
