Pluspunten

Generous benefits, time off, travel ability.

Minpunten

There is definitely a culture of superiority, arrogance and we know something the rest of the world doesn't. What we do is not rocket science. But developers are overly valued as gods, and we forsake infrastructure, solid planning, resource management and responsible governance. It's easy to say we're successful because we have cash coming in the door, but what lies beneath the cash is actually a quite poorly managed and led company.

Pluspunten

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

Minpunten

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

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
