Pluspunten

- I was able to switch to a team delivering products of very high impact - ability to take ownership quickly (I led my first project 3 months in) - very talented team - few meetings

Minpunten

- All remote so I was not able to build relationships with nearly any of my colleagues, and none from other departments - Having been a senior before, I did not appreciate that I was put in the mid level bucket, and although I took senior level responsibilities (onboarded team, architecture planning, coaching, hiring, company wide presentations) I was not given a timeline towards a potential promotion back to the senior level.

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
