Pros

- Trust in employees, no micro-managing - Autonomy to take ownership of projects and pursue things we are passionate about - Lots of opportunity to move forward in your career in any facet. We are supported in achieving personal goals and moving across the career jungle gym - Remote working is set up really well so that it feels seamless and non-isolating - Really nice people and culture

Cons

- If you don't like the 100% remote setup, this may not be the company for you. That being said, I was skeptical too and I have come to find that I actually prefer 100% remote!

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
