Pluspunten

- tonnes of perks: SWAG, lots of monetary benefits - it's big, so maybe you can shuffle to find a team you like

Minpunten

- toxic top-down culture: leadership says a lot of pretty words, but they don't actually want your feedback - the toxicity is driven by the CEO - mandatory on-call - weird imbalance between "how good we say we are, and what we say we can do" vs what we can actually get done

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
