Good pay, average work, poor culture, and lack of diversity
- Better compensation, lucrative joining bonus.

Bad culture. I have no idea how the Bangalore office has turned out to have a culture so distant from what Microsoft elsewhere is known for. Diversity, inclusion, and friendly people – all are lacking here. You get hired now; you are more certain to feel lonely, marginalized, and left to fend for yourselves.

Middle of a massive realignment. MS is undergoing a top-to-bottom shakeup and reorg, which can leave you uncertain of coming times. But if you are an old timer at Microsoft, perhaps it is a cause for much joy. Certain teams in Bing and BingAds are undergoing a swift move to agility, and with no clear focus on what to aim for, teams are trying what feels best for them. Most are re-engineering what other tech giants like Google and Amazon have solved well for years. Things like disaster management and CI are all getting solved for now. It seems like a decade-old problem.
- Train junior employees on Diversity and Inclusion.
- Define the Bangalore center's charter and hold regular all-hands meetings to list team accomplishments.
- Be responsible for the Bangalore center's place in the organization.
