Hi!

no better time for you to join us. Below are some of the questions which you might have as you begin your

Why Microsoft?
Our mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more.
Which means the work we do and the things we create will empower billions of people around the
world. Every day.
Each day our world creates new technology: devices, apps, and services. Which means new ways to
do things, new ways to connect, new things to learn. While each holds the promise of helping us
get more done with less effort, they also can become one more thing competing for our scarce time
and attention.
Thats why we need to rethink the way we make technology, and not simply make more. We need
to reinvent productivity. Microsoft is helping people achieve more by giving them the best possible
tools for any moment.
At Microsoft, youll have an amazing range of opportunities. You might become an expert in a
particular field or build proficiencies across many areas. You might be an individual contributor or
become a manager. Because we have so many kinds of jobs in so many different places, you can
stay in one building, city, or country, or you can cross bordersin person, or virtually.
Your career and professional development is a partnership between you and your manager,
reinforced by our numerous career resources. And as much as were here to support you, we believe
your career is an individual adventure. You drive your career development plan while your manager
assists and coaches you, and we provide a framework with the tools and resources you need to
succeed.

Our philosophy: an individual adventure
