      Company's in mid-charter change and its clear quality, M365, and its people aren't at the core.

      Pros

      If you're at the bleeding edge of AI and the supporting technology, it's where the money is. Copilot be damned, Azure OpenAI will be a force.

      Cons

      If you were a part of the 'old guard', the legacy products, you're being cut to bare metal on resources to fund the juggernaut. That includes things like security & privacy efforts, supportability, anything resembling quality of life for employees. We even had a Satya direct tell us anything less than Enterprise customers weren't a priority any longer, it was AI and the Enterprise customers for the foreseeable future.

      Pros

      - Great benefits - Smartest employees - Access to tools

      Cons

      - Fear throughout the company - Arbitrary (algo) based firing - CFO is also the chief product officer. Her behavior doesn't match the rhetoric.
