Pros

Good benefits/gifts. Good culture principles. Appreciated on curriculum. Flexibility for PTO.

Cons

Bad management, focusing on short-term execution. Lack of engineering good practices. Slow/zero career growth. Sometimes expects extended work hours.

Advice to Management

There is no such thing we can call Microsoft Standards in some teams.

Technical debt is too high, and things are constantly being rebuilt from scratch, and sometimes reinventing the wheel.

Remote workers are more likely to join bad teams with the worst retention score.
