Reviews
I get to work closely with many customers and understand how their business works and how IT can assist them to grow
Account Technology Strategist: I work with a set of enterprise customers to help with the day-to-day technology implementation and adoption, whilst focusing on the company's Tech strategy for the future and how to get there. My role involves visiting customers regularly, and having strategic conversations about their technological needs.
I look after a portfolio of clients within Services. Every day is a new and exciting day that is different to the previous. My day consist of meeting customer to understand their business strategy, coordinating engagements, both internally and externally, to ensure we add value to the customer's business and lots of emails! Some days I will be at my customer's office, a cafe nearby or home. I am probably at our office 2 out of 5 days.

Pros and cons of working at Microsoft Australia
Pros
Working on big scale projects, employee benefits, working on household name products
Flexibility
The readiness training is out of this world. You're sent overseas the first three months to ready you in your department from people in the business who are the best in their field. You don't have to worry about paying out of your pocket as the company covers all the cost, they invest in you.
The people, love for tech, good company
Strong autonomous work culture, where management 110% entrust intern/graduate to work directly with clients to make an impact and add value.
Cons
Lots of processes and procedures
Internal processes
You learn to run before you can crawl, this is a good and bad thing about the company. However, I wouldn't want it anyway because my self-growth has sky rocketed in the short few months I've been onboard
No enough cultivation of community amongst intern/graduate.
The main offices is in North Ryde
