Higher than market compensation in India except for AWS and Google. Flexibility to work from home.

Dislikes

...larity of way forward. No appraisals in spite of WORLD RECORD BREAKING PROFITS. Just blind cost cutting everywhere without thinking of impact.

Nothing that I can recall of. It's typical organization looking for people who say yes to management . Just say yes to ur manager.

Dislikes

It's depend on ur manager. Stay cautious with manager before disclosing anything. The Manager I got was pathetic.. He did fun of ur health issues in one to one conversation. They lack empathy. Always record ur conversation with manager or technical lead to save urself in future. Old days culture of Microsoft gone.. This is just like any other organizations u ever worked with. All depend on manager and his perspective on u.

Compensation and benefits were good.

Dislikes

No job security even after spending 2 long years here. Had to loose my job as they monitored my performance for 2 montbs and I couldn't achieve the targets laid upon.
