Pros

- Work life balance is good, though there are occasional night calls, okay with it as it's unavoidable for global teams - At the forefront of AI tools adoption, provides good developer experience - Team culture is good and people are friendly - As company has real business, things you work on will have real value and not just be throwaway - Due to sheer size of company's business, we have to take into account growth and scalability to support global customers, good for fostering system design knowledge - Pay and benefits are decent to above average

Cons

- Some projects are very badly written, abundance of tech debt, reliance on contractors doesn't help as well - Too much processes and dependencies, some processes outdated and seem to exist to justify jobs - There’s noticeable over-representation of one group, which raises concerns about inclusivity and balanced hiring practices - Promotion cycle is slow compared to other tech companies, more similar to banks

Pros

Great co-workers, some leaders with integrity from Al Kelly time, great benefits, 401k, what used to be great WLB.

Cons

-Incompetent CTO and leadership, specially at the Sr Dr/ VP level, moved from Msft in troves. -No focus on product/features delivery using AI, rather useless AI tools to track productivity (LOC and other laughable outdated metrics). -All Optics, no innovation, decades behind Fintechs like Stripe in innovation. -Extreme toxic culture and politics at leadership level.
