Hey Blind! L6 PM-T at Amazon, spent last three years in Alexa. I've been applying to MSFT (PM positions) through the website without success over the last three months. There are two PM roles currently open on MSAI: one is a Principal, one is a Sr. They both mention natural language interface and using AI to make Office365 easier to use. I've been really impressed with the quality of life improvements across Office365 and I enjoy working on conversational products. I'd love to contribute. Could anyone help me out with either a referral or an intro to the HM? I can provide req# via DM. Thank you very much in advance.
I work in office space. I help people by referring them and helping them for interviews. But I don’t want you to join MSFT from Amazon because we don’t want Amazon mentality in MSFT. Guys at Microsoft, please consider this. It will harm us in long run. Sorry op.
Ah, sorry I should've stated this up front. I'm trying to return to MSFT precisely because I don't fit the Amazon mentality. I interned at MSFT in 2017. I identified with the Growth Mindset (and read Carol Dwecks book). I was impressed with the focus on collaboration and the way the company does the right thing for its vendors, employees, the community, etc. And finally, I've been an office user all my life. I was skeptical about the SaaS version of Office. But I have been so impressed across Excel, PowerPoint and Word at the value I'm getting for what I'm paying. There will be no Amazon mentality coming with me: I want to work at a company that doesn't feel evil and where the values are more than lip service. Hopefully that changes your mind.
Great. Thanks for clarification. I am also reading that book. It’s awesome. I can help you.
