Cool/Hip vs Microsoft ?

Pros

All the perks and benefits you wouldn't expect from a startup - are there. The nap room, the pullup/pushup workout gadget, the pingpong room, the pool table, the booze, not to mention they surely know how to throw a party with freshly rolled cigars and written poems. And the office is AMAZINGLY beautiful with best view anywhere can offer. Flexible working hours and WFH is generally acceptable. Lots of creative and best minds in the technology industry fostering a great engineering atmosphere.

Cons

Just like big-corporations or banking, you don't get to choose the platform, architecture, or even the tools for the job. Sticking with Microsoft means you only get 2nd grade engineers, unless they are Microsoft-married engineers themselves, which is fine but you lack choices, and the creative technology community prefers open source any day over Microsoft for agility and self-reliance. Also in the spirit of being a start-up, try not to have so many meetings - that kills the startup scrappy energetic vibe pretty quickly. Don't go from hip/cool to big-co/unimaginative in a split second please.

Glad to hear you like our perks. But as you know, perks don't mean anything without career satisfaction. We are proud to be on the cutting edge of Microsoft's latest technology, but hope our engineers feel empowered to choose the best tool for the job, we encourage creativity and don't want to slow anything down. Sorry that you felt that way. PS agree with you on the meetings, we just killed our weekly sprints for that reason exactly. Best of luck in your next adventure. - Mike H. CTO
