I think it's largely due to Sam Altman bringing the YC ethos to OpenAI. Building something people want, releasing products quickly, etc.

- muzani 4y agoIt's not a uniquely YC thing. Every major company did this well at some point. Microsoft is in that sweet spot where they're big enough to fund whatever they want, but not FAANG-tier, which tends to attract political types.
- DoctorOW 4y agoMicrosoft is the same size as the biggest companies in FAANG and the office politics are notoriously pretty competitive.
- Der_Einzige 4y agoThey also pay better than Amazon and have (or had based on recent blind reviews) excellent WLB
- tester756 4y agoMSFT is second biggest FAANG right after Apple and significantly ahead of #3, wtf?
