> Again, this wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't so deeply embedded in Microsoft's culture. If you search for the term “Growth Mindset” on the Microsoft subreddit, you’ll find countless posts from people who have applied for jobs and internships asking for interview advice, and being told to demonstrate they have a growth mindset to the interviewer.

This reminds me so much of the experience I had at an early stage start up. I didn't have a degree, and I needed the job, so I really made it clear I would buy in %100.

I am not sure I would want to join a 40+ year old company that still demands that level of commitment.
