Pros

- Rewarding to work at a company with a real mission that matters - Get to work on projects that have a huge impact at a global scale - Engineering leadership is very technical - Great work/life balance

Cons

- Have to be able to thrive on change, which can be exhausting - Remote working isn't for everyone, and the plans for in-person meetings are vague - Some of the in-office perks have yet to be replaced - Tends to prefer to hire senior leadership externally instead of promoting from within

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
