Pros

- Digital by Design. Love working remotely and people respect your time outside of work. More time to do things like exercise and having family time. - Genuinely good people and managers. Fellow team members are approachable and always happy to answer your questions. Managers are also competent and don't shy away from tough questions ranging from team morale to compensation (though they might not know it themselves sometimes and will get back at a later time) - Compensation is above average as compared to other tech companies and is still under review from various benchmarks. - Healthcare insurance is the best I've had. Covers my whole family. - Runs like a start up. Good that we can run fast without much bureaucracy. - No blame culture. Not afraid to break things as we will solve the problem as a team and learn together which is great!

Cons

- Keeping up documentation is hard. There are lots to read, decisions to be made and you can really spend the whole day just reading and still not done.

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
