Pros

Still some good people around, drawn in by the brand.

Work-life balance is very achievable — as long as you don’t care about growth in the “work” part.

Pay is decent, benefits quite good (not MSFT benefits though).

Cons

It’s full bore ahead on MSFT mediocrity in engineering leadership (both technical and people management) now. Bad ideas, poor execution, and unbelievable arrogance.

Product is an insane mess, and the lack of competence and leadership spills over onto engineering.

Absolutely no interest in hiring or retaining diverse teams.

Attrition is through the roof.

Entire leadership team has turned over in the past 3 months.

This isn’t the GitHub you’re looking for.
