Dislikes

Dislikes

Extremely unprofessional management. They have a collection of managers from small companies who have no idea about technical aspects of project. Zero job safety. Inefficient feedback system.

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

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.
