Pros

The most supported I have ever felt in a workplace. They also compensate and promote based on impact, not seniority or tenure, which means hard work actually gets recognized.

Cons

Hiring and firing process can take a significant amount of time. 1-3 months to move to a new position after applying, several strikes required before someone is fired.

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
