One thing i liked about Microsoft R&D,Bangalore is Its Salary and Benefits. Another one was being an employee of Microsoft which was for short duration.

No value to Senior Resources.They value more to Freshers or College Hires.' Managers are good for nothing.Those who bootlick get the benefit. Technical expertise is not required at all.You need to have good communication skill. That is it. HR is not interactive at all.They did not bother to have a exit interview with me.
