Pluspunten

Very strong pay rate (still not enough to negate the uninteresting work) CEO is good at stamping out certain ... contemporary cultural excesses It is genuinely and interesting business and interesting industry to be in.

Minpunten

The least interesting work I've ever had, combined with the most deadline pressure that I've ever had; a remarkably bad combination. Uninteresting technology platform. The guy from Memento had better continuity than the software planners governing my team - folks were desperately mashing on the control panel, figuratively. Monolith often meant poor bounds around each team's ownership of work, and unbounded expectations placed on you.

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
