Microsoft - from an average employee
Microsoft - from an average employee
This is a company everybody knows. There's pride in the tradition and culture of this company. I grew up with Microsoft products and always wondered about working for them. Compensation is pretty decent as a place right out of college, and you do get a little awe-struck as you are working inside the Microsoft campus.
The location is just too expensive for people coming right out of college to afford. Especially with the house price boom, I could only rent a small one-bedroom apartment in the town.
As far as leadership goes, there should be some more infrastructure in place for a more open and innovative way for us to work together. Microsoft should not lose to Google of the world.
Work with the engineers and find out where they are coming from.
