Pluspunten

Perks and comp are great for Canadians. Engineering culture is very engineer driven, not a lot of top down management, they provide you with direction and expect you to get the job done

Minpunten

Don't believe a single word HR tells you during the interview process. They intentionally mis-level incoming talent, promise them fast tracks, will tell you that they frequently level people up in the first 6 months if it's obvious that you were mis-levelled. When you work hard to show that you off your skill, and get support for promotions from all your managers however, HR will deny it with random made up rules. So word for the wise, if you're coming in, stand you ground on your level, because you're not getting some magic upgrade when you get into the company.

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
