I wish you could get candid Q&A like this about more companies: https://github.com/holman/ama/issues/628 … https://github.com/holman/ama/issues/745 …https://github.com/holman/ama/issues/657 …

Many companies curate their reputation in a way that causes new employees to often be surprised; unhappiness & high attrition result.
I ended up at MS because a well-known engineer gave me a compelling (false) pitch. The 2 teams he hired for had ~50% attrition after ~1yr.

I'm not picking on MS here! Startups do this too and it's much worse since people who leave often can't afford to exercise their options...
-
... they also fire people (relatively often) when it's a bad fit instead of letting them transfer; that's not talked about nearly enough.

do you regret that decision ?

In retrospect, I should've transferred or quit sooner; other people I've talked to who left tell me the same thing.

I switched teams, as did a lot of other folks :-).
