Pros

Great benefits and unlimited PTO

Cons

It’s a lottery. If you end up on one of the pet product lines or easy teams, you thrive with full support. Otherwise, it’s a nightmare. I experienced both and honestly I wouldn’t tell my worst enemy to work here. It’s toxic, cliquish, bro culture (when from the non-male leaders), and wasteful. They’ll spend a million bucks on a stupid promo with no ROI and tell someone to squeeze out a deliverable over the holidays. Take your unlimited PTO at your own risk.

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
