      “Big Company” feel, experience varies by team

      Pros

      I hands-down love my team. It is supportive, collaborative, a genuine joy to work with every day. Without getting too “we’re like a family”-ish, because we do have good healthy boundaries, I genuinely feel like these folks are my friends! They’re also brilliant at their jobs, and getting to learn from them is a privilege.

      Cons

      It’s had some growing pains over the last few years since getting bought by MSFT and taking on tons of new folks. Cross-company communication is trickier because there’s a lot more of us now. Overall, I’ve noticed happiness varies widely by team. I love my team and most of my reporting chain, and I know others do too. But, I also know of others whose departments sound challenging to work in (and not in a good way). We’re a big company now, so experience varies by team more I guess.
