Similar to the British and East India Company who wanted to make all Indians clerks. Today MGSI has succeeded in hiring the cream of the Indian software talent and destroying the future of Indian software by making them work as coolies in their Hyderabad Sweatshop office.
Just imagine, if we had a future Sergey or Bill Gates, he must be sweating under the chains and whip of the managers in MGSI or working in some shanty town in South Africa.
While working there, I have seen so many brilliant, but very unhappy senior engineers who were trapped there for some reason or the other. As the taxi driver who drove me to the office every morning said to me -
"Sir, don't be so happy and optimistic. I have been dropping off Microsoft Employees for a long time now. This is the most brutal work environment in the world. I have seen many engineers come and go from here. They suck your blood here, and you are trapped for now."
How very true were these words from a honest, hardworking person who has seen the turmoil in the engineers life through his own eyes every day morning and evening!
They are not doing us a favor by being in India. They are exploiting our intelligent engineers, and making sure, none of these young boys and girls ever build anything great and continue to toil away silently suffering day in and day out.
I so agree, God bless those who are in MGSI at the moment! Not even a single person I met from MGSI in past 4-5 years ever came across as a happy and content soul, they are always in some kind of mad rat race. Aah "Mad Rat Race" - sounds common rite? But MGSI is different. It's rat race is gonna transform you completely into a true mad rat, with no purpose in life, or even at job, a loser on family front, a disaster as a person! But yes, the packages, the brand name - 'Microsoft' makes it difficult for the rats inside MGSI to realize what's happening to them unless they come out of it, and look at it from outside! Just a few months here are gonna assure that you will loose on your health front as well, and end up paying 'whatever extra MGSI offers to you as compared to other companies' on your medical treatments.
ReplyDeleteYou are right. I work here and MGSI is really bad. Politics goes on a lot. The Management and Leadership team is not good. They are spoiling the name of Microsoft. Infact they use the name of Microsoft and use it for their benefit.
ReplyDeleteMy few points here...
ReplyDelete1)Super close minded people. (as someone said above)
2)Cheap attitude and shamelessness are the necessary guts to stay at MSGD.
3)Strict HR Policy : "Make sure only AssLickers are promoted"
4)CONs and SCONs with L1 visas are kings , rest are dogs.
5)Telgu..Telgu..Telugu ....
Another reason is that Indians don't mingle freely with each other. After family, it is office space which is kind of family. But then, Indians are very bad when it comes to work in teams and generally personal and profession gets mixed, which should not happen in real and practical world.
