Microsoft Corporation

Imagine having the resources to influence tomorrow's reality today, and having fun while you do it. That's Microsoft. Right now, we're looking for people who think big and dream big - people a lot like you. If you're ready to discover just how far your talents can take you, we invite you to explore this site. From there, how far you go is up to you.

At Microsoft, we create software - the instructions that help electronic devices like computers, cars, and digital cameras work. Millions of people around the world use our technology every day, from multinational corporations that do business in many currencies and languages to small companies that count on just-in-time inventory systems to keep orders flowing. Educators and students use our software for lesson plans, homework, and collaborating on projects. In the home, families manage their personal finances, share photographs, and communicate online.

Innovative software from Microsoft and our partners continues to transform how we work and how we play:

• Mobile computing options such as the Microsoft® Windows®-based Tablet PC and Pocket PC 2002 Phone Edition let you work wherever you are, with many of the same powerful Microsoft Office programs that make creating and sharing documents, presentations, and data with others easy to do. At the Center for Information Work, Microsoft and partners like Sony, Intel, and Acer are prototyping ideas that may help us be more productive in the future.
   
• New technologies such as Microsoft .NET XML Web Services help companies efficiently share data with internal applications or with suppliers via the Internet, making it easier to manage IT costs while making new business capabilities possible.
   
• Our enterprise-ready servers are built with a scalable and reliable architecture that can grow as your company's needs evolve. Plus, our worldwide network of partners build innovative solutions that solve real business problems.
   
• Technology for your home - TV programs, music, digital video, photos, and DVDs - can now be stored in one easy-to-access location with the Windows XP Media Center Edition.
   
• Our communities bring people together, from developers working in real time on code to bridge players on MSN. Online gamers experience state-of-the-art graphics and an active community of players on Xbox®.

Delivering on Our Mission

There are two key aspects to Microsoft's past and future success: our vision of technology and the values that we live by every day as a company. To reflect our role as an industry leader and to focus our efforts on the opportunities ahead, we have embraced a new corporate mission:

To enable people and businesses throughout the world to realize their full potential.

Delivering on this mission requires a clearly defined set of values and tenets. Our company values are not new, but have recently been articulated to reinforce our new mission.

Integrity, passion at work, open and respectful, willing to take on big challenges, being accountable and self critical, are the values that drive great careers at Microsoft Corporation.
