Microsoft Employer Reviews

Overall I have practically all positive things to say about working Microsoft. Like any company, your happiness is greatly affected by your specific team's policies and people. I'd say the majority of people I worked with were happy and were great people.

Taking full ownership of cases and managing through to resolution.
What didn't I learn
Management can be flaky
Excellent co workers
The hardest part was being shouted at by end customers
Resolving a case to the customers or partners satisfaction and receiving fabulous feedback

I have been working within the Sales Excellence team of Microsoft Advertising, ensuring the timely delivery of key business Projects and deliverables. I am heavily involved in the creation of operational metrics that help both on an operational level as well as new insights for senior management; Key Measures such as ROI, productivity, average yield – more... and product focus are only part of the key metrics that I have been involved in measuring. The analytics that I am actively involved in help improve and increase rigor around the strategic direction of our UK business. – less

Working in the financial department it was not very stimulating. However there is a great work environment, people are mostly flexible and there is a good work life balance.

.i was working for 40 hours per week,i have learned patience and working i a busy enviroment with 2000 people on site.management was good and understanding.

I am proud working for Microsoft and would praise their management model, despite frequent business realignments

- Championing the customer and advertiser experience to improve our products.
- A start-up-like environment, change being dynamic. Being able to "snap" to change is an important element of my job.
- Initiate collaborations with Microsoft Research on future paid search philosophies.
- I have learnt to embrace change rather than fight it.
- Hardest part – more... of my role is getting everyone on the same page. This can be challenging based on the number of people involved and the levels of authority.
- I work with some sharp, intelligent people who always see the bigger picture while also understanding the detail of what we do.
- I love the people, that's what makes me enjoy what I do. – less

Great employer, fun colleagues, good work life balance. Tough to secure a permenant role in the company.

Solely managed the New Software Installation Group including the hiring and educating of technicians. I wrote and instigated new databases and operating parameters to speed up install and delivery time of new PC's. Learned how and when to lead, follow or step aside.

Challenging/dynamic environment. Requires strong collaboration and internal influencing skills. Fast paced, demanding environment in which highly adaptive work style is valued.

As a receptionist at Microsoft, you are the face of the company. You are the first and last person that people are in contact with when they are visiting a Microsoft building. The management team for the receptionists helps to provide you with the tools you need and want to have a productive day. Your coworkers are easily reachable for help when needed. – more... The hardest part of the job (depending on the building you are in), is keeping the conference rooms organized. Employees have the ability to book meetings, however, many people utilize the receptionist for this matter. Since there are so many people utilizing the conference rooms, there are many open times for error. The most enjoyable part of the job is being able to make an employee's day. Many people working in the buildings have a lot on their plate, so when you can do something to help them, it feels great! – less

Filled with wonderfully smart people, Microsoft is a great place to work, to be challenged and to put forward your best.
