Pluspunten

- The people who actually do the work are hard working, kind, creative, and deeply intelligent - Name recognition gets you far

Minpunten

Leadership here is a joke. Constant re-orgs, bell curve performance reviews with quotas that turn into excuses to lay people off. All to cover up for the fact that leadership doesn't know what it's doing, with no regard for the employee lives it affects. There are constantly new initiatives launched before an old one has really been given the resources and time it requires. Get ready to have all of your work paused for 1-2 quarters and then try to prove your impact in a performance review after not being allowed to move forward on anything. Have fun explaining to the COO who "just wants to get to know your department" what it is you do in 5 minutes or less. Leadership just has zero EQ.

Pluspunten

- 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

Minpunten

- 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
