Vantaggi

Most managers are great, the stories of the time before the IPO, when the culture was more anarchic and employees more devoted to creating a great product are also nice to listen to.

Svantaggi

It grew too fast during the pandemic. Thousands of employees were hired over a couple of years and laid off during the next couple of years. The president lied to - ineffectively - curb the rumours anticipating the 2023 layoff. Teams are remote by design since 2020 and thus spread over multiple cities/countries without a kernel geographically located somewhere. It’s unclear whether this was a good move.

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
