Pros

Microsoft is known to be a great employer, and one easy way if you dream about the US. You can join here and look for an opportunity in the US and move on.

Cons
  1. Though Microsoft is a great employer, Bangalore IDC is 5 years old, but the unrest is never settled.
  2. Bing Ads is the core component of IDC Bangalore, yet its importance is least among other products.
  3. Attrition is too high; you will keep seeing multiple 'Last Day' mails every week. This is a big setback for a center with 200 headcount.
  4. A bunch of folks keep moving for the US, leaving the division weaker.
  5. We had multiple center heads, but none of them sustained. Either they left the company or moved back to the US.
  6. Bad work-life balance. Be ready to work 18 to 20 hours a day.
  7. Too many org changes in Bangalore can de-promote you to lower levels.
