Good food, cab facility, work from home, free snacks & fruits

Cons

Poor quality technology stack. Slow-moving software & tools, but fast expectations. Poor quality talent within the organization. Medieval methods of retaining employees: too many team outings, too many hours of meetings per week, expectation to work 24/7, plus hostile behavior by managers. They work only on legacy projects, since new projects are difficult to monetize. Projects are poorly implemented by their substandard employees. Even non-.NET technologies (like front-end technologies) they use are at least 5 years behind the times. In other words, a perfect place to spoil one's career.

Advice to Management

This advice is to all Microsoft employees and alumni. Stop spreading lies about the organization being good. It is far below average in everything other than remuneration, from technology to ethics. In fact, it is a pseudo technology firm, comparable with investment firms like Goldman Sachs.
