      Pros

      - Catered lunches, snacks, and beverages - Challenging work combined with supportive management - Fast growing company with opportunities to advance (in theory)

      Cons

      - Workloads are heavy, making it difficult to take the time to develop skills needed to advance - Many teams are understaffed, meaning it's hard to take time off without feeling like you're letting your coworkers down, even though it's encouraged by management - Culture of shipping new features fast means that fixing bugs and glitches aren't a high priority.

      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
