A Bengaluru-based woman has shared why working at Microsoft still feels rewarding to her even after spending more than five years at the company.
Deepika Koul shared a video documenting snippets from her daily life at Microsoft’s Bengaluru office, offering a glimpse into the environment she credits for keeping her excited about work years into her career.
In the caption of her post, Koul wrote, “This is what 5 years at Microsoft actually feels like.”
In the video, Koul reflected on how her enthusiasm for going to work has remained unchanged despite walking into the same office for more than half a decade.
“It has been more than five years and I have been walking into the same office and I still get excited to walk in. Strange, right?” she said.
For Koul, that excitement has little to do with the company’s name and far more to do with the people and culture within the workplace.
“It's not because of the name on the building but because of what happens inside it. Real conversations, honest brainstorming, people who push you, not to compete but to grow,” she said.
She said the office has become a space that consistently helps her gain clarity and perspective, particularly on difficult days.
“Every time I walk in with a cloudy head, I walk out clearer. How cool is that? Every time I walk in low, I walk out lighter. That’s not a company perk, that’s a culture,” Koul said.
Deepika Koul concluded her message by reflecting on the value of being part of a workplace that contributes not just to professional growth, but personal wellbeing as well: “If you have a place that makes you better just by showing up, don’t take it for granted. I know I don’t.”
We couldn’t agree more.
