I think it's fine. As a hiring manager, I would want to know if there are internal company things that are turning away potential hires.
Personally, I stay far, far away from places where I'd be required to use Windows, Teams, etc., not because I can't stand most of the stuff that Microsoft churns out, but because it's an indicator that the company doesn't give a single fuck about whether or not they're adding unnecessary friction to my job. I want to spend my time and energy doing the job I was hired for, not working around whatever crapware corporate IT decides to foist on me. Without fail, every time I've compromised on this stance, the company has ended up being an absolute dumpster fire.
- quickthrower2 5y agoI think the exception is where using Windows makes sense, which is for legacy .NET development, needing VS, of which there is a lot of companies.
- cweagans 5y agoOf course. I have no interest in roles like that though, so for my purposes, it’s still generally a good measure.
