      Dead end

      Professional services
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Remote work support, company culture, many people true to original mission of being the home for all developers.

      Cons

      Scary amount of leadership and senior employees departing being replaced by outside hires rather than promoting within, failure to hold accountable to company culture. Services is a dead end with burnout across the board, there is no strategic direction other than partners. There is no space to be real engineers, bowing under utilization targets made by people ignorant of the job. No travel or opportunities to grow, ICs do not feel safe discussing concerns resorting to private chats.

      Not as great as it once was

      Customer success manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work-life balance Great benefits - healthcare fully paid MSFT Stock

      Cons

      Underwhelming quality of work. The company is really heavy in 8, 9, and 10 level roles so it's incredibly difficult to get promoted. People are typically way overqualified for the actual day-to-day work they do.

      Slowly becoming Microsoft

      Director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Competitive pay and benefits, remote-first work culture, huge community and brand loyalty to leverage, still retains an openness to try new things, truly a standard-bearer technology in software development.

      Cons

      Slowly becoming Microsoft in its increasing bureaucracy and fading autonomy, which can make it hard to navigate and find stability.
