Pros

If you’re lucky, there are some amazingly smart, dedicates, and kind people working there.

Cons

Unfortunately those amazing people are being diluted by the recent influx of hires. UX roles are being less valued. And its very hard to switch roles, not a lot of internal mentorship support available. Lots of selfish and useless managers.

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
