Business Outlook

Pros

+ Company really cares about its employees' health and development + Perks are very good - one inDay per month for personal growth, $2000/yr perkUp, $1000/yr for home office, 401k match, great med benefits, etc + On-campus food is hands down best in the valley + Opportunities for learning are good with LinkedinLearning, Safari Books, internal training classes + Peers are smart, hard working and very friendly

Cons

- Slow moving - Some unique LI perks and culture are disappearing due to MSFT - Promo process is busted - Craftsmanship is being gamed by some (review comment metrics, design doc commenting, etc) - To get things done in reasonable time frame, you need to know 'the person' to contact. Otherwise, it goes into JIRA and takes forever until the person who knows what to do picks up the ticket - and even then you need to pester them to solve it - Internal tooling documentation is mixed bag and not rewarded for maintaining - although I hear this is changing somewhat. - Many of the IT functions have moved to India so it takes long time to get that resolved due to time zone difference.
