Do NOT JOIN TEAMS IOS

Sep 17, 2021 20 Comments

Hello, not sure if it’s just me or other feel the same way, but I moved to microsoft thinking I would get great WLB. Oh boy was I wrong. I joined in December last year. And looking at iOS code base, it’s probably the worst codebase I have seen and things will seem really unorganized. Classes are defined twice. The code takes hours to compile. Based on where you’re making a change. I have constantly put in 10-12 hours of work everyday since January. Except for when I’m on vacation and absolutely avoid working on weekends like the plague, but still get pinged sometimes over the weekend. I have had days when I was working until 2AM to continue working after I wake up around 6AM, this wasn’t even close to what I thought would happen when I moved here.

This is not what I moved to microsoft for. So for anyone out there heed this as a warning, but my recommendation is, do not come to join Microsoft teams iOS.

I’m sorry if others feel this is how big codebase should be. But in my experience, they shouldn’t be this messy.

END rant!
