Hey, thanks for the review! It can seem like there are several levels of leadership, but we need to make sure that we keep ourselves on track for public events like future product launches, and for internal development goals. We’re building a company where everyone has the potential to have a positive impact on our business; this includes everything from our products to our technology to our people. Being at the top of our game is something we are proud to be recognised for! Thank you again for the review, and best of luck in the future!

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
