At Microsoft, our mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. We live this mission every day through a culture that embraces a growth mindset, values diverse perspectives, and encourages continuous learning. We believe in creating an environment where individuals bring their best selves to work, collaborate openly, and build technology that makes a meaningful impact.
