Pros

Good food Cab Flexibility You can self learn a lot.

Cons

Leadership is technically weak in Bangalore. Especially program managers are getting promoted as engineering partners in Microsoft teams bangalore organisation especially in CMD organisation. This is degrading the quality of Microsoft. So if you're offered in this organisation better to keep away. All good projects are moving to Redmond due to these dummy people.
