Microsoft

The best place to work if you want work-life balance:

• Flexible working hours.
• Work-from-home options.
• Competitive compensation.
• Perks, facilities, and transport.
• Plenty of leaves are available.
• Food is really good in the buffet.

You should read the cons if you believe you are a learner.

1. There is no growth involved if you are working here. Most of the development feels saturated, and the impact that it makes to users doesn't feel significant.

2. Work progress speed is relatively very slow; the environment is not very dynamic. You would probably learn a lot in a startup rather than here. (Maybe that's why experienced developers get hired as seniority rises).

3. During my 6-month winter internship, I probably wrote less than 1000 lines of code, even when I had a lot to give. I had prior research and open-source development experience. Even open-source development and freelancing taught me a lot more than this internship.

4. The company is very gender-biased. If you are not a girl, then the probability of getting hired is very low. Diversity hiring is very common. (I have seen an L60 SDE Developer who is not even able to run code properly).

5. Your Bachelor or Master's branch matters a lot. If you are from a core branch, getting hired from Tier 2, Tier 3 is close to NIL, apart from IITs (as per Indian norms).
