Lack of vision, dinosaurs of old industry
Lack of vision, dinosaurs of old industry
Benefits are on par with the tech industry, with regular cafeteria benefits.
Camaraderie doesn't exist; teamwork seldom happens. Everyone runs for their own numbers with disregard to internal collaboration.
Stack ranking prevails, and there is a significant lack of vision and future to build a mid- to long-term career. Everyone cares about themselves and surviving.
Need to evolve. The old Microsoft from Steve Ballmer is still alive. Change or see yourself dying slowly. Google is coming fast at you. Don't neglect the signals.

Based on the recruiter's email, I was expecting the conversation to include questions around my C++ coding skills and prior experience relevant to the role, and LeetCode-style coding in C++. However, the discussion only focused on the hiring manager

Three Data Science and Algorithm rounds were there. In each round, two questions of medium complexity were asked. After discussing the solution, I was asked to write the program. It was fine to use dummy code.
