Pro-family culture, interesting work opportunities, and a culture still decent from all the pre-AI focus (Satya's growth mindset push) – but degrading fast.
It used to be a fun, stable, positive place to work before the Gen AI craze (pre-2023). Since then, there have been constant reorgs, layoffs, instability, low morale, and a lack of coherent vision other than "Win AI".
