Microsoft

You will get decently good pay.

Reputed Company.

Pathetic work culture, bad work-life balance. You work as labor, just following the manager's orders.

All the decision-making on the projects is done by management without much involvement from the engineering ICs, who are just handed over tasks to be completed.

There is a lack of transparency between management and the ICs.

You don't grow as a person, but only as a resource.

Much of the soft skills you gain are not over managing projects, collaboration, innovation, or leadership skills, but over pushing your work to someone else, negotiating on timelines, and the amount of work.

This type of work culture is simply not acceptable from a large and reputed organization like Microsoft.

Need some dramatic improvements in work culture.
