Technology Leader, Strong Processes, High Learning Opportunities
Overly hostile and political environment, especially in the India region.
"Diversity" is being overly abused in Microsoft India. It is wrongly interpreted as an "all-women organization" in many cases. Efforts are made to eliminate male candidates during interviews for "diversity" reasons. Even some male employees are made to leave the organization to be replaced by female employees again for "diversity" reasons. Hence, "diversity" is very feministically interpreted and implemented.
I hope the top leaders of Microsoft see this post and do something significant about this. Please note, diversity does not mean "keep all ladies around." It is totally different.
