      Great company but avoid EDC

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Excellent perks, new building on the way and facilities will be fantastic. Working with smart people. Best team to work for if you want to go further in your career are Azure, Bing, Operations and Inside Sales.

      Cons

      European Development Center (EDC) is too full of people that have been there too long. There is very little chance of promotion unless you just started at a low level. Glass ceiling is pretty low. Morale is pretty bad as people are just waiting for redundancy and only doing the bare minimum.

      Pros

      Almost all employees at Microsoft make enough money to be comfortable. We work on amazing products with some of the brightest in the industry.

      Cons

      I've never had more meetings in any other job. Management don't listen to employees. Honesty isn't regarded as a good quality. Liars do very well at Microsoft.

      Microsoft IDC - Great colleagues & work, but limited opportunity

      Principal engineering manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Very broad variety of domains to work on across Microsoft and most have a presence in Microsoft India Development Center (IDC) Hyderabad. - Technically brilliant and highly motivated colleagues - Great benefits and support infrastructure

      Cons

      - Everything is home-grown and inclination is to build in-house than look for good alternatives outside. - Very limited exposure to what's happening in the broader industry. Goes back to the first point of preferring to look within than outside. - At least in IDC Hyderabad, there are limited opportunities for growth and so many folks tend to move to Redmond (Microsoft headquarters). This causes a lot of churn in teams and is the biggest source of attrition. - IDC Hyderabad has been at a steady state for past 4-5 years. This further stifles opportunities for growth. Meanwhile competitors like Amazon, Google have big growth plans in Hyderabad. Also, companies like Apple and Uber are also setting up centers there.
