Pros

Great office, decent lunch, and some empathetic, good hearted people

Kontras

Entitled millennials, incredibly inexperienced leads and directors who are not even aware of it, politics, egotistical coworkers, and some serious lack of structure. Think of a glossy magazine that looks great on the outside but has garbage trash content on the inside. Inexperienced people will not be able to see underneath the glittering surface and will leave glowing reviews here but this was the worst managed mess of a company I’ve ever worked at. New people who actually know what they are doing are handcuffed with the equity deal and muzzled by politics from the OGs. They say they celebrate individuality, and authenticity but you’re ultimately expected to behave a certain way to be part of this cult, otherwise you won’t fit in. It’s sickeningly disappointing that how they are portrayed in the media is an exact opposite of how they actually operate. Their external interfacing layer (HR, PR, Medium articles, and conference talks) does a good job of maintaining a facade on this clown show on the outside. Kudos to them for the magic show.

Pros

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

Kontras

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

Pros

- 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

Kontras

- 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
