Pros
Nothing more I want than to write an amazing review about this company. They have all the potential in the world to be the greatest employer on the planet. They pay well. Good benefits at 0 cost. Exposure to an amazing tech stack. You learn transferable skills. Opportunity to interview for promotions but you’re on your own to fight for yourself.
Kontras
Satya hasn’t really talked about culture since Jan 2020. The espoused culture and lived experience are VERY different. Who your Manager is means everything to your success and your career as a whole. Too much variation between leaders within and across orgs. Every man for themselves mentality. When you think you mattered, you’re really just a number. Everyone is very disposable. They will set cash on fire to lay people off than properly performance manage. Culture is sometimes what you can do to create a name for yourself to be recognized. Hired hundreds of people only to lay many of them off just a few months later. They will fix problems at no expense or money or your soul. Again, who you work for will dictate your success.
