Microsoft Australia Reviews

If you work hard and show you are capable of doing that next role the company will make the space to get you into the role you need to be in, to ensure you are successful.

Big philanthropy work globally.

Allows for good work/life balance. Teaming and socialising is naturally easy due to the culture.

Microsoft's dedication to diversity is very present. There are lots of women, ethnic minorities, LGBT and peoples with disabilities in the company. Microsoft recognises that unless the workforce is diverse, we will not be delivering products/solutions that are diverse and fit everyone's needs. The company runs a lot of careers days, sponsorship programs, and partners with local disadvantaged schools and has a range of social programs to attract a range of different applicants.

I am given a lot of autonomy and opportunity to make decisions that will have direct impact to the business I work in.

There is a very flat hierarchical structure, and thus even the General Manager of Australia is very easy to approach and chat to.

The office is out at North Ryde - It is a nice office with free parking for employees however, the location is not desirable. The dress code is very dependant on what you do - there are no rules, you can wear a t-shirt and jeans or a suit and tie, it just depends on your role.

It was first online, then we had a full day of interviews. This full day included group assessment, panel interviews and 1:1 interview with hiring manager. Tell us about a time where you were faced with a conflict, Tell us about a time when you were in a leadership position, If you were in a relay race, would you run as the 1st, middle or final runner? Why?, What was the last book you read?, Why Microsoft? Be yourself and know what we do!

Very competitive International travel for training, pay for phone plan

We have amazing on the job training opportunities and also a large selection of tailored online training modules which we complete regularly. We are also able to be send on formal training courses if we show interest. the company is very supporting of this

The most flexible company there is - embedded in the company culture is the belief that "work is a thing we do, not a place we go"

No such thing as printing and papers.
