Choosing between Google and Microsoft is a dream dilemma for many software engineers. While both companies are among the world's biggest technology employers, a Bengaluru-based engineer who has worked at both says the real difference goes beyond salaries, perks or office facilities.
In a LinkedIn post that has attracted widespread attention, Manu Agarwal, now a Senior Software Engineer at Microsoft and formerly an engineer at Google's Bengaluru office, shared how each company shaped his professional growth in different ways.
Rather than declaring one company better than the other, he explained that each offers a distinct work culture and learning experience.
