A lot of people think that Microsoft has got to be a great place to work because of all the money they make, but there are a lot of things that needed to be cleared up. Microsoft’s own On10, a site dedicated to new technologies, took it upon themselves to resolve the misconceptions that are floating around out there.
The video, which I’ve embedded below, discusses things like how serious the workplace actually is, whether employees are allowed to use competing products, and how wealthy the employees are. You’ll definitely learn a thing or two from the video, and I give props to Microsoft for giving us some insight into how their workplace functions on a day-to-day basis.
Thanks to Oliver for the tip!
Great video!
That was surprising funny! I remember you guys posting a while back if the companies own employees use there own search engine and Microsoft was at the bottom, so at least you know that part about use competing products is true.
That was funny?
Yikes, I guess sense of humor changes from region to region around the globe.
Admit it… she’s hot.
No one ever said she wasn’t.
Some parts more than others.
“I’ll just google it” – that was funny
I guess this is the reason why vista does not have any ultimate extras or WinFS!
I think that one guy lost the “codeoff” b/c his computer was turned off….classic newbie mistake
It probably also varies from person to person, but I thought it was pretty good especially coming from Microsoft.
That would definitely hurt his chances of winning.
It was good to see this video.
I worked at an Investment Bank for a year before I joined Microsoft.
Coming from the formal financial services environment, with aa stodcy corporate-culture, Microsoft has turned out a fun place to
work for me.
