Pros

- work life balance - skilled coworkers - opportunities to learn and grow - can collaborate with people on and outside of your team - they provide $$ and equipment to help with home office setup, which is great cause we're remote - no commute - opportunities to travel with team to meet irl.

Cons

- monolith that takes a while to build and run locally, and hard to get it working consistently with thousands of devs committing code - worried that hiring too quickly will change culture

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
