  • I work at a startup that got acquired and amalgamated into a massive corporate.

    It was my first time using Google suite (drive, meet, calendar) slack, and a pretty straightforward PTO calendar.

    We migrated onto MS suite. MS Teams, Workday for PTO, Outlook for meetings and emails. (I’ve used them before for several years at another job, so have pretty decent exposure now.)

    We all hate it. The UX is just downright worse and they’re generally magnitudes less intuitive. I’d say a good 80% of the 500 strong workforce hates Microsoft suite in a direct comparison to Google suite and Slack.

    Corporates gonna corporate though, and MS is the industry standard.

    On a side note: it’s also my first time using a MacBook and I was blown away by how intuitive it actually is. Thankfully we get to keep those.
