no lack of enthusiasm
1 month ago

Dick Brass' article in the NY Times takes a skewed view of Microsoft. Brass seems to evaluate Microsoft in the consumer space and has drawn a premature conclusion that it is failing. Brass seems to totally ignore the fact that there are product lines outside of Windows & Office that have huge success - SharePoint, SQL Server, Dynamics & much more. That said, Microsoft doesn't take Google & Apple lightly. Bing has had decent success, and there will be more coming in the months ahead. There's certainly no lack of enthusiasm. I love working here.

Recent Layoff Tells/Reviews

5000 employees being laid off
about 2 months ago

The axe in Microsoft is going and falling on many Indian IT professionals as the company is slashing approx 5000 employees. I believe I am gonna be one of them. I think they are getting biased and favoring their own people in the bad economy. I have never thought this would happen at Microsoft that I am seen now as an Indian and laid off before others.
