Pros

It was a relatively good place to work, with smart people, a positive community, and good benefits

Cons

- Narrow technical focus and fewer opportunities for growth can result from being at a big company. These may not seem like a big deal, but they will affect your career trajectory in the mid or long term. - Remote work in large teams can make interactions impersonal

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
