At the Microsoft Park

Posted 2021-04-28 在水一方的欧洲时光

Today, after our swimming class, our teacher led us to the Microsoft Park. Everyone who saw that place will love it at once.

The class got down the train, and walked after Mrs. Rita. When I first saw the building, I didn’t thought that it was so famous, but when I got in, I dropped my jaws. It looks amazing!

First, an employee took us to the playing room on the third floor. When we got in, every boy’s eyes stuck on the Xbox next to the big TV-screen. The employee introduced himself, and started to ask us questions. I only knew the answer for one question, but though I knew it, I couldn’t answer it. Then Szabolcs (that’s how we call the employee) told us about Microsoft.

The children who had their phone played a game called “YAHOOT!” . In there, we had to answer questions about Microsoft, 13 kids played the game, I became the 8^th in the group. They showed pictures and videos about Microsoft and Microsoft Life. The people can speak only English at Microsoft, and it’s great! You don’t have to be good at math to go to work at Microsoft, you just have to know how to use code!

After that, we followed Szabolcs everywhere to see all parts of the building. Well, almost all parts. He showed everything he can to us, for example: the meeting rooms (there were hundreds of them), how to book the meeting rooms, the HR part, the Green Rooms, the kitchens (we could drink coffee and eat fruits! I was the good girl who cleaned up after everyone), a big balcony, 360°Cameras, and the Coffee Table……

They also told us that although not everyone got a business car, the employees can book a car or a bike if they needed, the best is: there’re SHIPS going to somewhere near Microsoft in the afternoon!

At Microsoft, if somebody has to talk to another employee in another country, he or she used Skype! If you work at Microsoft, it’s very different from an ordinary company. At an ordinary company, you’re merry with a desk; at Microsoft, you can bring your laptop and sit on any free chair and start to work anytime. If you’re at an ordinary company, you can only use the meeting room if they let you, and you never know when you can use it; at Microsoft you can book a meeting room, and you always know that when you can use it. At an ordinary company, if you haven’t got a business car , you won’t have one; at Microsoft, you can book one. At an ordinary company, you have to prepare for the meeting in a big noise; at Microsoft, you can rest and prepare in the Green Room.

Microsoft is fantastic! One of my life goals will be working at Microsoft!
