My six months at Microsoft

Hello everyone .

Time flies , In the twinkling of an eye, I have been working in Microsoft Suzhou for half a year ,

today , I will start from work 、 welfare 、 Development trend, etc , Let's share some of my feelings about working at Microsoft for the past six months .

Work Life Balance

Mention Microsoft or foreign companies , Maybe your first impression is WLB(Work Life Balance).

Yes , Let me see , Microsoft pays more attention to WLB, But at the same time, it also pays more attention to efficient work .

Tell me about myself , My morning is probably 9 spot 30 Around to the company , evening 6 Get off work more .

Working hours are less than those of large domestic factories , But from the people around me , Everyone really works very efficiently .

A few days ago, my colleagues were still talking about this topic , It is agreed that , Instead of working hours , It's better to improve work efficiency .

The key is , Don't think about it here “ What time do I have to get off work ”, perhaps “ Everyone hasn't left yet , I'm not leaving either ” In the morbid phenomenon of … I think it's boring .

Office flexibility and freedom

Working at Microsoft , You are free ！

Freedom here means working hours as well as Workplace , This is also my biggest feeling when I come to Microsoft .

For working hours , You come early and leave early , It's no problem to come late and leave late , I've heard that some colleagues are used to coming to work in the afternoon , Work till night .

If something happens one day , It's OK to leave early in the afternoon , Microsoft is very tolerant of this .

The workplace is also flexible , We can choose to work at home , We all call it WFH(Work From Home).

Working hours less than 50% WFH, You don't need to manager Approved by , Like working from home for a week 2 God is allowed .

If you want to be greater than 50% Time or want to apply for permanent WFH, You need approval .

Of course , Have to say , Efficiency of working from home 、 And communication is really not as efficient as going to the company .

International environment

Working at Microsoft , mail 、 The materials are all in English , Many groups will also have meetings with the United States ,

In this environment , English will be greatly improved .

A classmate with poor English listening like me , Don't be afraid to not understand what foreigners say ,

Teams The conference has real-time subtitle function , Can transition for a period of time . Accumulate over a long period , English ability will be improved .

I feel , The ability of English really can't be ignored ！

After all, many cutting-edge programming technologies are still made by foreigners , Able to search in English 、 I feel it is very necessary to learn foreign first-hand materials , I have also been working hard in this regard .

welfare

Microsoft's annual leave is as soon as you enter the company 15 God , And there is 15 Days sick leave , Besides , What other volunteer leave .

If the annual leave of the previous year is not completed , Will be superimposed to the second year , But if the next year is not used, it will expire .

therefore , A lot of times , Microsoft will have such a phenomenon at the end of the year ： Many people ask for leave collectively .

Like some time ago, at the end of the year , Many colleagues just 5 All working days are invited , Lian New Year's Day , It's equivalent to putting 10 Days off … It's really fragrant

What's my annual leave this year 22.5 God , Including the new refresh this year 15 God , And those who stayed last year 7.5 God .

In addition to annual leave , Microsoft also includes fitness subsidies （1800 element / year ）, Education allowance （3500 element / year ） Equal benefits .

Every year there will be Family Day, Last year, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai issued Disney tickets , Tickets for Universal Studios in Beijing .

The atmosphere is good

The atmosphere here is great , Colleagues are very friendly .

Working at Microsoft , I'll assign you one mentor To take you , You can ask him what you don't understand ,

I feel this very much , When I first came here , A lot of things are not very good , Thanks a lot mentor with colleagues , Take the trouble to teach me .

Some questions come to mind now , When I asked him that, he didn't bother me , If I'm bored …

When the colleagues around are so kind , You will find that you will also be influenced by , Also become helpful .

Up trend

Microsoft has developed relatively well in recent years , Stocks also rose slowly , Some time ago, I was the first in the global market value

19 year 1 month , Microsoft's share price is 101 The knife , Now it is 300 Multi knife ...

Besides , Microsoft has paid more and more attention to R & D in China in recent years , Especially Suzhou .

Students who pay attention to Microsoft recruitment may know better , Suzhou is now Microsoft's largest R & D center in China ,

Except for the phase II building under construction , The third phase building will also be ready to be built , To 2025 year , Microsoft Suzhou to recruit 5000 Many people , And now, 2000 Many employees ...

so , Microsoft has invested a lot in R & D in China ！

Okay , Let's write this article here , It can also be regarded as a summary of six months of employment ~

If it feels good , Give me a compliment ~ See you next time
