Pros

- Work from home (for now) - Pay is good for Canadian market for now

Cons

- Benefits are below average for a company of this size/stature - Nickel and dimes employees, taking away benefits and making employees pay for extended health and medical coverage that used to be free. - Talent system revamp that makes no sense - They will pay an external hire more than an internal promotion for the same scope of responsibilities - No room for promotions - The HR Chief is a train wreck

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
