"Microsoft is a fun place to work with smart people on very large problems."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Be honest. The company isn't looking for the most whiz-bang windows guru ever. They're looking for people who can learn quickly, reason through problems and work with dynamic teams."

What don't you like about working at Microsoft?

"Advancement within the Silicon Valley Campus is difficult to come by. There aren't many opportunities for advancement that open up without having to move to Washington."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I would suggest that management at Microsoft's Silicon Valley Campus work more on developing the potential of the employees that they have working for them. It's a great place to work but there's not a lot of management support for personal or career development."
