I’ll always remember my friends’ faces, when, nearly 7 years ago I announced I was moving to Seattle to go work for Microsoft. I was leaving Apple to be part of the nascent Microsoft Business Intelligence team and for someone who had spent his career in the Silicon Valley, the move was counterintuitive.
As I am now getting ready to leave Microsoft for a Silicon Valley Start-up, I look back on my time in Seattle and I’m thankful for the things I’ve learned at the number one software company in the world. Below is a reflection of my personal views. While I realize others might have had different experiences, readers should know there is a lot to learn from this company, its culture and its people.
