Pros

- Decent benefits, 8/10. Have had better, but not by much. - Good people near the bottom - even the first couple rungs of leadership are pretty decent. - Access to every AI tool you could ever desire, even if they give you no time to learn or use them.

Cons

- Senior leadership is constantly changing things without direction or reason. You can tell it's without direction or reason because of the unnecessary struggle they inflict and the amount of stuff that needs to be reconsidered after the fact. - Support teams undervalued, underutilized, and regularly laid off. If you're not in Support, you're treated much better (aside from the restructuring and layoffs), but that just speaks to the above. - Company feels like a shell of what it was. When I was hired seven years ago, they had a great work culture, appreciation for staff, lots of neat perks, etc. I've watched them dismantle all of that, remove incentive for creativity, and essentially abandon the values that made them such a great place to work. Will be quitting this year.

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
