Advice to Senior Management

We should be less metric driven.

Pros

They are one of the best company in the world so you will have the opportunity to work with some of the best brain of the industry. Their pay and benefits are decent.

Cons

This is already a grown up place and so they did not need people for long run in bangalore setup. Every quarter they screw some people for no reason because work has not moved from US to bangalore as yet. If you allow me to say about MS bangalore culture then it is just big boss culture where people get nominated and evacuted from the house every quarter.

Advice to Senior Management

Please stop big boss culture and throw people in one short and allow others to nurture their career dream. Replacing one apple with orange or guava will not suffice your long term strategic goals here.

Pros

Great brand to work for
Awesome community to work for
Great package to work for
Awesome scale and diversity of work to work for

Cons

Sluggish growth and a very repetitive career model
Too much fat in upper management to be good for the company
Management cliques are unfair

Advice to Senior Management

Please do something about the sluggish career growth, both in terms of the work and the culture which can do with a youthful revamp

Pros

good salary, gr8 place to work, gr8 ppl around

Cons

huge org. 1 size does not fit all

Pros

They value your passion towards technology.
They take into consideration your life's choices and decisions while recruiting you
They take care of you and your family

Cons

Can be a very competitive environment
The organization is management-heavy, and the manager's word is golden. So if you get on the wrong side of your manager, you might as well kiss your career goodbye

Advice to Senior Management

Take your employees into consideration while making some really important decisions
