I am speaking from experience....tried 3 different teams in 3 years at Microsoft. I am fully burnt out at this crap culture - Most employees and most managers are hired from low class companies like TCS and Infosys - Managers see you as competition (if you are a senior) and will keep you out of most meeting so that you learn less than them - Manager will have 1 favorite in the team and rest of the ppl will be treated like crap (typical infosys level politics) - Back Stabbing and feet licking culture wins over talent, anytime/anyday - Literally be ready to take your pants down and do what your manager asks, if you want to be happy...again, feet licking everyday is important - Manager will make sure they learn from you and take all your ideas and then treat you as a brainless person - Manager will put you on bench (which you will assume it's WLB) so that you slow down as compared to his favorite - All promotions and praises goes to the favorite and favorite is the one who excels at feet licking :D - After spending 1-2 year, you will start to feel depressed on daily basis because of all above - Only time your manager will actually care about you is when you send a resignation email :D In Short: Don't join, specially under young Managers who themselves failed in life (US / India office) #engineering #software #swe #microsoft
Facebook is the new Google Google is the new Microsoft Microsoft is the new Infosys
DoorDash is still startup.
Touché ! Aaah where do I begin! Pretty much had PTSD coming out of Microsoft. They used to yell at me there, I remember this principle engineer came so close to me and started to yell. I thought he was probably going to hit me next (I am a female) Got fired (not even PIP) for not sucking his d* (on H1B) Got offer from oracle in 8 days, Google and 2 other startups. More 💸 and higher level. Life has been pretty great since then ! I blame Microsoft for my dating life fiasco (still single af) !
Depends on the team. I moved from Amazon to Microsoft and feel Microsoft is the new Amazon on my team.
I had worse experiences at Apple. But I wouldn’t say Apple is like that. I got stuck with this stupid manager and team.
Almost like nearly 1 out of 5 people alive today is Indian
Agreed
There are multiple worlds inside MS. In my team/org I saw the deserved ones got promoted, no major a** licking, equal work distribution, can see manager likes few more than others but doesn't really matter much.
I worked at MS for 8+ years. None of what you say jives with my experience.
It's gotten worse, especially with the explosive growth of Azure lowering the bar
Why exactly are you superior to the so called 'low class' hires?
Thing with race supremacy is you just make up a category, claim yourself as belonging to a superior class, and get to subjugate and exploit those you claim under an 'inferior' class. As to why, because you are weak as an individual and have no hope of improving things for yourself by your own effort. And that weakness is pure hedonistic laziness with a side of disdain about humanity and life itself, so you cannot even ask for help because you know you don't really deserve it and whenever someone offers it on their own volition, you cannot help but fuck them over repeatedly until they either abandon you, become sick just like you, or literally die. So you do not have anyone like that left around you either That leaves violent bigotry as your only option
Someone's salty lol Fix your attitude or those 'low class' hires will keep running laps around you
Thats the issue, I am bad at showing attitude to others. I am a nice guy :D
he said "fix" (your mentality), not "showing". Get some water to wash down your saltiness lol.
