Great Company Reinventing Itself
Great Company Reinventing Itself
• Solid products and a scale customer base…this is not startup land. • Smart people – a great environment for professional growth. • Good compensation and great overtime…not the place to get rich quick, but very good after five (ish) years. • The best in enterprise / getting into the fight (finally) in consumer. • Very serious about design, cloud services, and devices.
• Microsoft’s org structure and software licensing legacy make strategy very hard. • The whole reinvention thing can be frustrating if ambiguity bugs you. • Comp package is just ok to start – it gets good after five or so years. • No cool factor, but you’ll have to do a startup for that.
It’s taken far too long to get moving on a consumer strategy, but we are landing one now. So drive, drive, drive!
You have a ton of goodwill with employees. We love Microsoft and are ready to stretch. You can count on us, so please do that.
Stop worrying about the review system. All review systems suck, and so does ours, but at least we understand how to deal with it.
