Pros

Company is extremely pro-AI, and encourages all AI tool use. Room for growth if you are junior.

Cons

The stress levels at the company have increased tremendously in the last year. Lots of attrition especially in the data teams, and we are continuously understaffed. Mid-level managers are continuously pushed out.

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
