Work Environment

Foosball, Starbucks, Xbox 360, individual offices, high-speed wireless - we’ve got it all! How about an on-site gym, 100% cover health plan, and access to mass transit? Ditto. And remember to leave your suit at home.

Our workplace is dynamic, high-tech, innovative, and casual, and we support flexible work arrangements. We continuously invest in a healthy work/life balance for all employees.

Our state-of-the-art €42M office building features large offices and spacious common areas. Microsoft is consistently recognized as a top employer in Ireland, Europe, and worldwide. Our light-filled cafeteria is open for breakfast and lunch, with a diverse selection of food. We take our work – and our play – seriously. Remember, no spinning allowed at the foosball table! Our big sunlit atrium illuminates the cafeteria and Starbucks coffee lounge. Everybody gets individual offices, to express their individuality. Our building required the excavation of 22,000 cubic meters of granite rock. The “emerald isle” never fails to provide a bit of greenery. Microsoft has several buildings in Dublin, which include 3 cafeterias, 2 on-site gyms, and a company store. To unwind, sometimes we “test” games from our co-workers in the Xbox group. Our building is close to tram and bus lines and features a 322-space car park.

Our core strength is our people, some of whom are listed at left. Our developers are superstars, like one recent college grad who is a two-time Imagine Cup winner.

We’ve got diverse backgrounds, hailing from all over Europe and the rest of the world. We’re fluent in a lot of languages: C#, C++, ASP.NET, SVG, JavaScript, AJAX, SilverLight, SQL... (and over a dozen human ones as well).

We are agile enthusiasts and use scrum to manage our work (for more info on agile development, see this blog from Casper, one of our developers).

In our spare time, a lot of us write blogs (see our blogroll) and we enjoy life with our families and friends in Dublin.
