You're doing what you need to do to protect yourself, not make enemies, not make news etc, but what you're doing isn't really helping anyone IMO. You don't give these companies (or their employees!) a chance to defend the culture they have now vs what you think they had years ago
As for Microsoft, so far I've had very few good experiences or interactions with this corporation. I've been burned on basically every single interaction sooner or later. MS purposely outright lied and exploited 100+ of my fellow coworkers at Ensemble Studios.

I've seen some out of control, basically crazy shit going on inside of MS relatively recently. I mean totally crazy, abusive, insane stuff. So this definitely colors my opinion of this corporation.

With that being said, I know that MS is trying to change and there are good teams there. But there are clusters of insanity there too. I do respect MS's software greatly (I use it every single day).

My original point was never about MSFT, just my feeling that what you post doesn't help anyone without more specifics. I don't doubt bad tech companies exist and even that MSFT has groups within it that aren't/weren't great. But knowing who to avoid before you join is key.
