Reorg frustrations in Azure, but otherwise a good experience
If you have a good manager, you’ll have a good work environment and a healthy work-life balance.
Benefits are legitimately good.
Salary at the competition is much higher, even if benefits aren’t as good. Every year, you’re guaranteed to be reorganized. It’s a coin toss if you’ll be happy after the reorg, so if you get anxious with letting others dictate your fate, you might as well switch companies.

Focus on employee retention and happiness, and maybe you’ll stop losing folks to the competition.
Maybe you should shift some energy back into finding and keeping industry hires.
