Microsoft Corporation Senior Software Engineer Reviews

Likes

I have worked there as a vendor in microsoft and company policy is poor and worst for vendor engineers , not treated properly and no benefits , you can't even ask to change in shift , even you need to work there over in night shifts without change in shifts.

Dislikes

Microsoft has a poor standards for engineers who are working there as vendor engineers even with high years of experience and good technical knowledge. Also , no perks benefits are given to non FTE ( FULL TIME ENGINEERS) . I HAVE worked there as an L2 as a vendor through , teamware solutions , and was having v- id , and company was not good , even i have escalated it to senior VP of microsoft that I had a medical condition and wouldn't be able to continue in night shifts , but they didn't listen and closed the matter. Very poor HR policies ....Read More

Dislikes

I'm not rating Microsoft as whole, but the product that i worked. Work is not challenging, repeating. not much focus on the quality of code delivered rather deliver early and fix bugs later. And this becomes extremely unmanageable later which leads to hectic, late nights, work on week ends, LI (on call duty) escalations. Seen too much changes in a year (my team got 4 different component/area in a year, which is not technically too much different from others but the ownership changes). On top too much burden on the senior developers (spending majority of time in non technical stuffs). Pulling in a senior dev late night LI on call bridge. You are taken for granted as resource in the company. Without prior information and communication next morning your team changed and of course manager as well, this happened with me. After all these chaotic, ill managed team, a simple mistake of yours propagate badly in your connect session with manager. Having said all these, I could accept all these if there are good chance of learning....Read More

Lot of resources to learn, if one is self-motivated.

Dislikes

This is very specific to IDC_Hyderabad. It is simply an over-hyped technology center. Very lackadaisical approach from management of having a common goal and taking the company to new heights. It almost runs like a govt office where people are reluctant to go that extra mile in raising the technical bar. Senior staff have very low (to even poor) technical skills. Every project operates like a POC. Very sorry state of affairs and IDC-Hyderabad is lying in shambles. Given its operation of over 10 years, hardly 1-2 innovations (or work) have made a cut in the market. Middle level managers need and overhaul. The current crop of managers are mostly testers in the past. They have absolutely no technical skills and no sense of urgency. Just bench-warmers. They need to be replaced with visionaries possessing technical skills having a proven track record of delivering cutting-edge products...Read More
