"Microsoft is a great company to work for. In fact, it does not need my or anyone's recommendation. It's kind of small Silicon Valley - you have all possible choices within the company. The company culture is great, people are very talented. As a downside I'd mention too many re-orgs happened recently, but this is probably the nature of today's dynamic world and market. I enjoyed working in Microsoft, think the experience gained there will help me a lot in other projects in my career."

Senior Technical Product Manager

"In my past 12 years, I have worked in a variety of industries (e.g. automotive, healthcare, IT consulting, and high tech) and in different companies ranging from (startups to well established S&P500 organizations). I have had the privilege to work with many smart and humble team members, customers, leaders, and mentors. Each company was a different culture, and I was able to adapt to each companies culture, deliver on my products, collaborate with the team and be successful. I define success as a combination of my deliverables, the net impact the products I contributed to the success of the organization, the strong friendship and collaboration I leave behind. My work is always detailed and correct, but I strike the right balance on delivering on time as well. Sometimes this equates to working hard, sometimes it equates to working smart, and sometimes it is setting the right expectation, using either of these techniques I always strive for excellence."

"Been at Microsoft for four years. It's so big that judging it a monolith would be unfair. There is a culture to it, but I haven't had any other job. It seems healthy, and promotes a good work/life balance. You grow as much as you can push."

"I've loved my time at Microsoft. They respect their employees, provide training and direction but still allow enough freedoms to change the business process for a better alternative. After relocating back to my home state of NY, the role was no longer supported remotely so I am looking to start work for a company local to NYC."
