Working at Microsoft
Wherever your talents and interests take you at Microsoft, you’ll find yourself in an environment designed to bring out the best in you. We want you to listen, challenge, question, agree and disagree. We want you to be you. We’ll support and encourage you as your career evolves and develops. We’ll also provide you with some of the best internal training to be had in this or any other industry.
In return, we expect you to enthuse us, to be as passionate about our technology as your Microsoft colleagues, and to enjoy the wide-range of opportunities and responsibilities that come with knowing that your ideas and solutions will touch people’s lives around the world.

What makes us different
People come to Microsoft thinking they know what to expect. Most are surprised to discover a very different kind of business. This is a company with all the energy and passion of a start-up. Unlike a start-up, however, we have the resources, people and vision to achieve great things swiftly, to make our dream of realising human potential a reality.
We also have a range of technologies, solutions and products that present opportunities at every level: opportunities to explore new markets, to integrate technologies and to tackle challenges that would be beyond the scope of any other employer. All of which means there are more opportunities for you to develop a career path of your own design and, in the process, realise your own potential.
