Microsoft reviews

For people just starting their careers Microsoft is an amazing place to gain experience. You will be involved with decision making and building products with huge reach. The workplace is a highly energetic one, where everyone is focused on one thing primarily, how to ship great software and products. You will learn as much about the business of software as you will about actually building it. To thrive in this environment you really need to be passionate about your work and the products you'll help build. You will be working with some of the highest caliber people in the industry and expect to be challenged when just starting out like you have never been challenged. You will start with little responsibility and will need to prove yourself to take on bigger pieces. In my opinion, the people you will collaborate with and learn from is one of the most valuable things you will gain by working at Microsoft.

Great opportunity to learn how to run for political office; the skills you gain from the networking and navigating will be beneficial when you look for another job either internally or externally. Microsoft doesn't have great pay, but they do offer good benefits.
