wrote an excellent submit yesterday about agreement roles at Microsoft. Zoë and I have received a lot of questions on this subject but haven’t had the answers – so hopefully Heather’s due diligence will be of help. thing to keep in mind is that while a agreement role will give you superb exposure to Microsoft and its employees, you shouldn’t be surprised if certain processes (such as recruiting) are still difficult to overcome.
