Great Place to Work
I worked as a consultant for Microsoft so I didn't have to go into the office daily. I had weekly team conference calls/meetings. I worked with some amazing people. My team was quite diverse and I really enjoyed the experience.
Extensive Travel
Role requires extensive travel throughout the Country. Mostly Monday through Thursday.
Work is as diverse as you want to make it and you can choose to adopt the newer technologies such as Azure or remain as SQL Server SME.

Great experience
Was always excited to see what the day brought. No shortage of activity and work. High energy, inclusive, and diverse culture. Colleagues were passionate about the work they did.
Fun place
It was a good experience getting to see the extensive infrastructure Microsoft has at their disposal. This gave additional insight as to how Microsoft tackles challenges.
It's was a great opportunity
Working at Microsoft was a great opportunity for me as I get to experience what it would be like in the "real world. I get to experience being security officer as well get work experience. Working at Microsoft as security officer will open up other opportunities for me as well as the people who work there.
Cool, but there are cultural problems.
Days would often be spent dilly dallying and not getting anything of substance done. A lot of time was spend running in circles with poor management with no vision and no one really driving it. They pay top dollar and stuck around for that, but it didn't get me to stay. The culture is very politically influenced, and if you don't go along with the political winds you don't go along with the company.
Food is great. Onsite environment is amazing. Security is not secure, but there are cameras and keycard doors everywhere. It's just very easy to park and walk on campus without any ID and no one questions it. They say they will tow your car if the license is not recognized and they don't do that whatsoever. There's a lot of bloat in the company, overall.

Great workplace
Great workplace, great benefits and compensation.
However as every other big company they tend to Lay off people when the company revenue it's affected negatively.

Awesome fun place to work
Learned a ton about Exchange and large scale deployments. I wish the contract never ended. Loved the campus in Charlotte NC and the Perks. Safe place to work.
Productive and Fun workplace
Some of the smartest people I have ever worked with. Depending on what group you are in some of the leaders only have grown up inside Microsoft. It would be great to see them expand and get some industry evangelists in to supplement.
Na
overall, it's a good place to work, and an interesting experience. be prepared for internal job hopping, which can be time-consuming because of the internal interviewing process. Don't expect to stay in one position for more than three years.
Productive work environment
Microsoft is a fast pace and quickly growing work environment. It allows the employees to have endless career growth. I worked as a sub contractor and thought it was a great place to work.
Okay place to work
Overall Microsoft is a good company to work for. The retail division is inconsistent with the benefits and advantages of the greater company. Associate experience is determined by the quality of the store management.
Awesome workplace
Inspiration, fun to learn, application of what has been learned, interactive, intuitive, great people, great team, great technology, excellent mentorship, and the best experience.
Retail emploee
I was a retail employee involved in sales, training, b2b, planogram,inventory and working with the CDS. Although great experience I was pulled in many different directions and didn’t think I was mastering one special area.
Well known for psychologically abusing employees
I spent two tours at Microsoft and have a demonstrated history of success at the company. I left both times because of the rampant and damaging psychological abuse that pervades the entire company.
Productive and engaged with work most of the time.
Good place to learn constantly. I learned self paced work style and to deliver on time.
Good work culture.
Challenge us to be creative in all task.

Productive and empowering
Working at Microsoft has been extremely empowering. They teach and remind us about the values that we have in our company and why it is important to us that we maintain these values each and everyday. Being an employee at Microsoft, I have learned how to build strong relationships, not just with my customers, but also with my peers. I have developed strong communication skills and goal-driven work ethics that have significantly impacted my team because these qualities have helped me drive more revenue.
very productive and amazing atmosphere
Every work day starts with the a pre-scrum mean followed by the discussion on the work items (scenarios) assigned to the team in the sprint, I have learnt few new things like always try to deliver the product in the sprint, I have to manage time to complete the task assigned. long story short there is always a solution for everything just learn to manage it and finish.
Most fun one can have
I loved working at MS. It was the most fun I had at a job ever. There was a lot of serious work, stepping into the most complex issues facing customers throughout the world, but there was still a lot of fun to be had
Big corporate culture
Microsoft has a lot of opportunities and a lot of different products. So you can move around regularly, and most people do, and try different things.
However, the culture is big corporate, the compensations package is not great compared to other companies in the area.

Great company to work
Director of Solutions/Staffing- Vendor of Microsoft (Former Employee) – Redmond, WA – November 11, 2019
Microsoft has been growing in values recently and cares employees, work atmosphere is much better than many technology companies in Seattle. Definitely recommend this company for long term growth.
