Absolutely amazing place to work.
Account Co-Ordinator (Current Employee) - Paddington - 10 December 2022
I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience working as an Account Co-Ordinator for Microsoft. It's such a big shame that this is only available as a contracted role as I would have happily stayed in this role for a very long time. My colleagues are incredibly helpful and always willing to support me with tasks that I am struggling with - it honestly feels like a family environment. Workplace culture is 10/10. You are fully supported from day one and honestly I was in shock at how genuinely nice EVERYONE was. There isn't a clear difference between senior management and account co-ordinators as everyone treats each other with the utmost respect and friendliness. The most enjoyable part of the job is the fact that there are always improvements being made and so there is always something new to learn and develop in. The hardest part of the job is having to leave after 18 months!
Pros
Friendly culture, beautiful office space, lovely colleagues.
Cons
Contracted role.

overall good
CSAM (Current Employee) - Australia - 27 November 2021
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.

culture
Technical Microsoft Dynamics CRM Engineer II (Former Employee) - Sydney NSW - 15 September 2019
The company needs to focus on performance based KPI's more than favoritism or socializing. The opportunities were good however the stress levels were high, which need to be balanced out.

Fun Workplace
Work Experience Student (Former Employee) - Adelaide City Centre SA - 8 May 2019
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.

A day as a contractor working for Microsoft
Device Sales Operations Account Manager (Current Employee) - North Ryde NSW - 12 March 2019
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.
Pros
Flexible work policy, free drinks and fruit
Cons
as a contractor not alwatys seen as an equal to FTE staff

Great workplace, but leadership too political throughout
Field Support Specialist (Former Employee) - Sydney NSW - 12 June 2018
They did a great job providing their employees with the tools to succeed, maintained work/life balance (though that is more up to the employee than anything), but the leadership is always, and always will be, infighting. Too much internal competition and history made large changes for the greater good impossible.
