Pros

The pay is good, and there are good bonuses and perks. There is no work/life balance, be prepared! You will be scheduled to work 7 days straight! You will not have the same days off in a month.

Cons

The schedule is garbage! Be prepared to work 7 days straight! There is no consistency in the schedule. Every week will be different. You will never have the same days off within a month. I sometimes get 1 day off in a week! As oppose to EVERY company in Canada....you get ONE 30 minute lunch break in an 8 hour shift, that is it.

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
