Pros

-Equipment provided for work is of great quality. -Benefits and perks are improving year on year. -Remote work and all the perks that come from that. -Strong support structure for employees. -A lot of emphasis on skills development. -Exciting company mission.

Cons

-Two class system between remote employees and in-office employees. Leads to a wide disparity when it comes to perks and career advancement. -Despite efforts, still a fair bit of siloing of knowledge & projects leading to duplicate effort. -Internal operations struggling to match the scale of external growth.

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
