Core argument seems to be that psychology/behavioral-science are not hard sciences (duh). Kind of insane how they're able to spin that into a 10 page hit piece about Microsoft. I think literally every argument they make could be applied to any arbitrary aspirational cultural values for any other large corporation. Author sounds like they have quite the chip on their shoulder.

I havent worked at MSFT (atleast not directly). But reading this article actually brought back a lot of cultural memories of Google (especially around perf season). The rubrics, the passive aggressiveness, the mindset mentality. Not very surprising given leadership and management keep circulating among these set of companies.

Same for Accenture. Felt reminded of my former ~~company~~ meritocracy cult.
