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.

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.

Decent place to work but little advancement for field jobs

Enterprise Account Manager (Former Employee) - Sydney NSW - 23 February 2018

Microsoft is a decent place to work, though the routines and processes are repetitive, and there is little opportunity for advancement if you are in a field sales role. MSFT needs to improve its sales game, and focus more on the customer.

MS Australia

Customer Success Manager (Former Employee) - Sydney NSW - 14 November 2017

Inside sales team was a very fun and exciting place to work. Lots of learning and quick turnarounds on day to day tasks. I find the most important value of the company was the growth it has on a staff.

perfect job, awful management

Microsoft Brand Ambassador (Former Employee) - Sydney NSW - 25 August 2017

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.

Pros

great co-workers, independence, relaxed KPIS

Cons

management, constant changes, favouritism

Interesting work, not enough resources, no job security.

Business Program Manager (Former Employee) - Sydney, NSW - 15 October 2015

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.

Pros

Nice office. Flexible working hours. Decent kitchen with partially subsidised meals.

Cons

No job security. Cliquey people/teams. No support from 'corp'. Lack of resources.
