Does it let you receive real time notifications from other organisations, or do you only get them from the one you're 'active' in? That was the dumbest thing ever and caused me to constantly miss messages from clients (or my actual employer, if I was signed into the teams space for a client) until I got an email a few hours after someone had sent a message. I just don't get why they'd choose to artificially restrict it with such a deficient model.
Other things that sucked:
- search never seemed to find anything I wanted, and I never knew why, but I can always find what I want in e.g. Discord so pretty sure the problem isn't actually me
- copying and pasting code was always a nightmare with formatting
- if you called someone at the same time as they called you, who knows what could happen, it couldn't handle the multi-device nature of it all
- general latency, everything was slow and with a delay (which I think contributed to the issue just above)
- the file viewer sucked immensely, and never was improved
- resource use on Mac OS was often abysmal
- updates constantly caused further issues, to the point it became a joke with the team when we'd encounter new bugs
- delivery of message notification emails was inconsistent if not signed in at all. Sometimes it would be near instant, other times it would be hours later, and sometimes days later. Never had that issue with other services like Slack, so also don't think that was on our end.
- ghost calls, where teams would think someone was in a call, but it had been cancelled, causing misc. issues with calling back etc.

Damn, what a piece of junk!
