Mixed bag with MSFT
We're on MSFT paper, and overall benefits are good. Work-life balance is good.
GitHub's culture of innovation and community contributions is fading as Microsoft becomes the dominant culture. There are far too many white dudes and not nearly enough females.

No advice - writing is on the wall.
