Almost all the managers these days have been hired cheaply fromIndian companies, these people lack basic etiquette and bring their toxic culture to the along, has made the culture exteremely Toxic and Political. Employee Satisfaction and Welfare are not the priority anymore and the company is now is only chasing profits after the bad investment decision to fund OpenAI all the funding has been directed to build AI and acquire GPUs, there hasn't been any appraisals since the past 2-3 years and the employees are being forced to accept dry promotions without any hike in pay but responsibilities with the expectation to perform without an boost to Morale or appreciation for your hard work.

Awesome work place, free food, good work culture that values employees feedback.

Dislikes

If you are really unlucky you will be stuck in a lousy and bad cultured team. But that DOESN'T define the overall organization. And the best part is, there is always a way out and scope for internal switch.

Likes

The only good thing is free food. Nothing else to like.

Dislikes

Its no more the old Microsoft which was known for cultural and work life balance. Its rotten by the politics and bad culture. Its just a hire and fire company now. Make sure you learn politics before entering in. Best would be to stay away from Microsoft India.
