Vantaggi

Get to work with cutting edge tech, alongside smart and engaged coworkers. Lots of opportunities to learn. Lots of flexibility with work hours. Lots of fun perks, exciting office layout, and great food.

Svantaggi

Working there was more like a lifestyle than a job, since it permeated all aspects of your life if you were not careful. Lots of overtime, I was on call 24/7 a lot of the time. Performance feedback from management was poor. Feedback to management was often dismissed or taken personally. Lots of friction between teams. Wasn't always like this, so could be result of too fast growth.

Vantaggi

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

Svantaggi

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

Vantaggi

- 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

Svantaggi

- 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
