Pros

Flexible work environment. Lots of perks.

Cons

My personal take was that management lacked experience. They say they crave different viewpoints, but there really was no appetite for those. It was impossible to have a professional discussion about even the smallest matter, because management saw a difference of opinion as a personal attack. If you’re over 30, you may be better off finding employment elsewhere.

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
