Pros

Freedom of choice under a diverse culture focused on delivering value to customers. Exceptional respect among people. I've never seen a more respectful group of people anywhere. Exceptional leaders and cross discipline talent. The best of Canadian talent can be found here. We're lucky to be working somewhere that is so passion and purpose driven with a fair reward system that measures based on impact. Many people rich enough not to work 9-5 still choose to work here. No doubt the best place in Canada, especially for those who just want to do what they do best, keep sharpening their craft, and do it all under a rewarding and free environment that truly gives you all you need. You decide how you want to shape your career here.

Cons

It will take at least 6 months to navigate people and groups due to the size we're at now, especially if you're in management.

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
