Pros

Lots of benefit to work for this company. People are very nice usually. You can learn lots of things,

Cons

The company itself has changed and become more corporate which cares number and performance a lot. They have recently been laying off lots of people. It’s so sad to see people suddenly disappeared on slack without any official good bye. not really sure if it’s actually true or not, but someone said they hired too many people and business didn’t grow as they expected, so they did it. Management of the organization can be very poor depends on the team since they are hiring lots of new people. Especially international team, one person lied off just after a few months having got hired.

Pros

Remote first culture. If you want freedom of location and a company to truly mean and support it - this is the place.

Cons

Constant change. Nothing to hold on to in this role, compensation, KPI's, tools all change every quarter.

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
