Pros

It's a huge company with plenty of opportunities, but despite the size, it still feels like a startup and has that same buzz. Management is great, and I'm able to self-manage with minimal micromanagement from my supervisor. The other people on my team are great to work with as well. The company also has a strong remote culture - unlike other companies where I've worked, I don't feel undervalued as a remote employee. 10/10, would recommend.

Cons

It's a huge company with a ton going on, so it's easy to feel like you're out of the loop or not making a big impact. Compensation also seems a bit low.

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
