Yes, for sure. Don't know if being acquired by MS resulted in this reputation (MS has had the same reputation for decades) but they are well known as a chill workplace.

To be clear, we still get an awesome amount of time off but deadlines pushed are comical to the point of, "well that's not Happening" except not everyone realizes this and is driving towards unrealistic deadlines they will miss.

Did MS have that reputation? All I remember are endless posts bitching about stack ranking... and that was 20 years ago.

"bitching" implies that it wasn't hopelessly toxic and problem-inducing

It's funny, I knew a fairly junior guy 4 years ago there on the east coast and he was portraying an image of being constantly under the gun and overworked.
