Pros

pay & benefits, though TC still lags behind other tech giants

Cons

- all in on AI, which results in cognitive offloading and terrible onboarding (eg. asking coworkers how to do something yields a "just ask copilot" response) - specific to me, but terrible micro-managing environment - specific to me, but was hired onto a hybrid 3/week role that turned into 5/week shortly after being hired - which doesn't make a whole lot of sense because my team is spread across different countries so I'm still in remote calls all the time. - antiquated tech stack, frustrating to use - no standardization on docs means there's simultaneously too much and too little, with lots of broken links - everything is set up to prevent you from getting things done. Tools take too long to load, webpages operate at a crawl, ADO is a terrible product with terrible UX and load times, teams is a godawful product, etc etc
