Important. At the beginning of its establishment, Microsoft took the mission of "having a computer on every home's desk. Today, the constant pursuit of helping individuals and enterprises around the world realize their potential.

 



Why did I finally join Microsoft?

Speaking of why Microsoft was selected, Dr. Tian reviewed his work experience. Tian jiangsen has worked in companies ranging from a dozen people to companies like Microsoft. When I first graduated from school, Tian jiangsen went to work in a big company. You can learn many things in a large company, stimulate your own ideas, and have a clearer planning for your career. Mimic Your
Mentor
Or more advanced researchers are inevitable in the growth process. After working there for a few years, Tian jiangsen felt that his wings were growing and full of ambition. On the other hand, there are also friends who want to start a business. In small companies



My personal responsibilities are very large. Everything you say and do is responsible. Therefore, the right or wrong words and deeds of an individual will have a great impact on the company's situation, and such consequences may soon be seen. In turn, this will also encourage people to learn and make progress more quickly and learn to take responsibility.

However
Later, Tian jiangsen chose to return to a large company. Why? He said that small companies are less stable than large companies and are vulnerable to changes in the economic situation. Although he is reluctant to work hard on his own
Industry, but eventually closed down. His second thought was to start a new business. However, since we have never found a better starting platform, we have to give up. Tian jiangsen said, "In my personal nature, I prefer to try new products.
From the perspective of career development experience
We will try a new field and role at the 3-5 Annual Meeting. As a result, I applied for work in three Microsoft departments in almost a short period of time.
30 interviewers have some surprises and accidents.

Finally,

Just
At that time, Microsoft Research Institute was recruiting a project manager to help the Asian Research Institute transform its research products. As soon as I heard it, I was very interested in this job, so I was introduced by a friend.
I quickly applied for this position and soon received a telephone interview with several senior engineering employees from Beijing and headquarters. They all felt that I was interested in this position, so they recommended me to Microsoft Research Institute.
A general manager over there
Dennis
Adler.
Dennis wrote a letter to tell me that others were very impressed with me and wanted to talk to me at a time, but he was so busy that he could not find time to see me, he was preparing for a business trip to India on the third day while arranging many meetings the next day. So I sent a letter to him indicating that if I could not see him this time, I would not be able to apply for this position, because at this time other Departments
The offer has arrived, and I hope I can give a reply as soon as possible. After reading my letter, he suggested seeing him at lunch the next day. Wait till you see

Of
Then, I liked this boss very much and was happy to become his employee.

So, I am
For the green house department
HR indicates that I am going to try this position at Microsoft Research Institute again, but she says we have already given it to you.
She does not recommend that I try positions in other departments, which will disrupt their plans. At that time, I tried

Offer, one side is another unknown but attractive

Green House, if you really want to go to the Microsoft Research Institute in the future, it will be much easier to use internal transfer methods. However, after a fierce ideological struggle, I plan to take this risk, not only because
Dennis is my expected boss who is easy to communicate and understand, and has the responsibility and significance of this job. When
Dennis learned that I refused.
For Green House
After offer, he immediately arranged a formal interview for me. The previous phone calls were informal. During the next day's interview, I basically met several major project managers at the Microsoft Research Institute, including Ling xiaoning,
Tom
Blank, and
Dennis himself. After a continuous interview, every conversation was very harmonious and pleasant, and there was no feeling of roast pork at all. The mood after the interview was particularly good. After that, I will call
Dennis asked about the results. He told me that I am going to India. Before I go to the airport at ten o'clock tomorrow, come to me. I can't wait to see it the next day.
After Dennis, he smiled and told me: "If you want to, this job is yours.

What kind of talents do we like?

When talking about recruiting new people, what Dr. Tian emphasizes most isEnthusiasm
AndInterest
. Researchers and researchers
Rsde (Research
Software Development Engineer. For
Rsde
It is mainly intended for engineers who want to make real products. Enthusiasm for research
It is necessary to be interested in software R & D, have a strong role, and be brave in innovation. No matter which group you are in, you can work as software engineers to produce products that have an impact on reality. For a researcher's position, senior or petty capital is not the only measurement.
The key is to have your own unique insights, enthusiasm, and special interests. The Institute welcomes talents with unique insights, innovative algorithms, and other ideas in a computer field. Researchers are usually doctors, so you should have done a lot of research in a certain field, have a good understanding of this field, and know the latest and best development direction.

Developed by Microsoft
For example, the Kinect for Xbox 360. This is the result of a visible and tangible product group. This affordable gaming machine has changed the concept of gaming machines. Today

That is
It will be available, but for researchers, this is just the beginning, which contains a wide range of development space. So, if you are a researcher, your understanding of this game machine determines its development.
Direction. For example, some platform technologies can be implemented immediately, such as identifying human eye movements and movements. But if we met a researcher who has the power to write a game
The Research Institute will definitely do its best to support it. In addition, our digital heritage protection project-immersive audio and video presentation system

The projects that simulate the Ten-year weathering characteristics of Mao gongding are all contributions to the traditional Chinese culture, truly injecting new vigor into these cultural treasures.

When
Some people asked how many people will be recruited by the institute this year. Dr. Tian gave the answer: the cost and demand of the study are difficult to calculate, so we never know how many people are needed. Recruit a good person.
You can recruit ten talents. The study's budget has been changing and will not be accurate, so it cannot be accurate to indicate how many people can enroll. Recruiters generally calculate the level of existing team members
Average. If a new candidate is higher than this average, the chance of joining Microsoft will be greatly increased. Dr. Tian once again stressed that the doctoral degree is not a hard requirement. We have many researchers who have recruited
He is not a doctor, but still works well. The key lies in whether you have your own opinions on a certain field and have the relevant development capabilities. If you are such a person, don't hurry up?
