Outside of phone calls, numerous emails and stakeholder contacts, I address and escalate issues daily and chase for resolution. Identify breaks or gaps in processes and escalating to higher management, raising a business case for permanent fix, Im not a fan of band aids.I work closely with our sales team, identifying and resolving issues with partners/customers.Hardest part of the role is the frustration with getting staff to understand customer/partner issues and applying asense of urgency. Im a firm believer in cusrtomer is always right and we only have a job because of the customer so we must look after them and empathise.The culture is quite good, management don't micro manage and they have a flexible work policy, and have no issue with working from home.The most enjoyable part of the day is having a fix applied, happy Partners/customer, a sense of having made a difference.

Daily work hours were flexible, but there were quite often conference calls at all hours of the night (e.g. 2-3am) to suit US time zone. Working from home is possible if it fits with the team. Management varies depending on the department. Some great, some not. Immediate co-workers and team members were great. Wider Microsoft teams were very closed off, non-supportive, and non-communicative. Hardest part of the job was feeling like we always had to do more with less in a shorter timeframe, and compromise on features of the product. Most enjoyable part of the job was the people in the immediate team who were always friendly and supportive.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Just Branding and the investments in key technology areas

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Unethical culture. Poor leadership skills and quality.. Poor work life balance. 
Care for employees is very bad.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Dirty politics and a poor HR system that cannot handle unethical acts.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Quantity work with zero concern for work life balance. Mental health, Contributing to society is just a marketing stunt. Not a days to day reality.

A lot of jobs involved in this project is to search the academic paper, and do the research. You need to understand the concept of depth image, KMeans Algorithm, and some math functions.

After that, I have to discuss the ideas with my supervisor, and seek for possible solutions.

Then, it is to implement the idea by writing c# code.

It has been a good journey so far with 6 month time, nice work life balance,                                                                                                   nice culture fitting with D&I
There are a ton of interesting things to work on, but the overall impact of what you do might vary. A lot of the work feels very inconsequential, and if you want to make a deep impact and understand things end to end, this is a difficult place to be, because things move so fast and so many things change all the time.

Great company to work for, many opportunities and smart passionate people around. Great learning environment. The culture is awesome, and people are generally helpful, and want you to be successful.

Typical day: 8 hours, 3 breaks, a lot of work to be done.
Learned: many things.
Management: brilliant and supportive, love you Jose M.
Workplace culture: professional and friendly, nice people to work with.
Hardest part of the job: keep up with no-stop work.
Most enjoyable: achieving great results.

It was good work experience. I was able to extend my IT skills into actual applications in tasks of making a bot. I really enjoyed being mentored by the staff members and working with other students. A particular stand out from the work-experience to me was designing a brochure for Microsoft since it allowed me to demonstrate my creative ideas with the team and staff.

I'd still be in this job if the management wasn't two-faced. Very easy to pick up and relaxing job to have if also studying. Management issues include not being paid for a month, constant changing and false promises plus lack of support or security.

It was a dream come true. Being a part of a great project. The training imparted to me was par excellence. The colleagues were very cooperative. I learnt to deliver high quality work in an extremely challenging and competitive environment while respecting the strict deadlines.
