Review from HR Dept
What did you like most about the interview process?
Personal and no assessments, actually got to talk to my future manager
The focus was on culture, not capabilities.
Review from HR Dept
Getting to know the team and challenges ahead.
I ended up letting my guard down and speaking longer than I normally would in front of strangers, so it's reasonable to say I must have felt fairly comfortable.
Review from Design Dept
Knowledge of the people who performed the interview
Review from IT Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Microsoft needs to drop its practice of discriminating in hiring based on demographic. At Microsoft each interview pool must contain a certian number of people based on demographic and hiring managers must justify why they arwnt hiring a "diverse" candidate,
MS likes to have interviews back to back (4-5) and does not let the interviewer know what they covering
Review from Sales Dept
It was slow and communication is poor. It's the worst thing about Microsoft and needs an overhaul.
Review from Product Dept
Be more aware of diverse backgrounds and the value they can bring. Some of the long time managers in Microsoft have poor awareness and they dont therefore know how to be inclusive of diverse backgrounds
Stop white-boarding in interviews if the candidate already has a track-record.
What makes you most happy at work?
My amazing manager and the fact that I get to make a differencf
The people I get to work with every day, and the many opportunities to continually take on new challenges and learn.
The people I directly work with daily
Review from Sales Dept
Opportunities to learn and grow.
Review from Design Dept
Everything, this mean benefits, leadership, teamwork, etc
Review from IT Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
We are viewed as a Vendor. Not treated like partners and I guess there is enough of a stain left by previous leadership to warrant caution
Change is not possible because change is irrelevant. Any instance of so called changed would only be window dressing.
Review from Customer Support Dept
Too much to convey is the medium.
The company doesn't care about employees or customer satisfaction.
Review from Marketing Dept
Bad managers and no care about people
