You likely became bewitched by their glamorous marketing side. I'd bet that the real work that the team does is very similar to the work that basically every ASIC design team does.

Think of all the requirements meetings!

I mean that looks cool and exciting if it is really small colocated team if one is lead engineer or director of large team of engineers so that they can learn do things that interest them and assign boring/routine work to individuals. Otherwise it would be just another job where people work on assigned JIRA stories and go home in evening.

Well, azure devops in this case ;)

In my experience working on anything that's exciting and full of marketing buzz is a sure road to burnout, with hype-dictated unrealistic deadlines and all.

My personal preference is to avoid this.

I bet you haven't used any Microsoft product before. /s

A lot of Microsoft hardware is best-in-class, strangely enough.
