Pros
  • The team is alright. There's a big emphasis on quality.
  • Pay and benefits are fine, although benefits are starting to get worse.
Cons

The company has been taking unpopular positions for a while now. From providing cloud compute to Israel for its genocide in Palestine, to shoving AI into everything it can that no one asked for, Microsoft executives have been tone-deaf to things that are best for the consumer and have been only seeking how to make as much money as possible without making a good product.

Advice to Management

Go talk to anyone who uses Microsoft products and who doesn't have stock in MS and makes less than $100k a year for your input.
