Used to be very cutthroat; the organization was setup that way. Ever since Satya Nadella took over as CEO, he started several initiatives to get rid of toxicity. Not sure how much change has taken place.

Azure is a difficult org. My brother left in March and took two months off to recover.

Not too bad Principal level here, working 45ish hours a week and getting paid pretty handsomely for it. Great benefits, good people to work with, and the work is pretty fun and fulfilling. A major gear shift from the 80-100 hour weeks I had in strat consulting.

I'll also say that most of the Sr leaders and GMs in my group are working 45-50... There are exceptions of course, but plenty of folks working the 9-10 hours a day and def taking a lot of vacation.
