The company I’m working for just migrated from Salesforce to Microsoft. I’m used to using Google suite + Salesforce in all previous tech roles. I have to say, I am SHOCKED at how awful Microsoft tools are. From outlook to dynamics, it’s like they’re 10 years behind. Its inefficient compared to what I’m used to and I can’t believe my company make this decision to switch.

During a recent video interview with Google’s Executive Assistants team, I was asked, “Is there anything we can do to make the world a better place?” I jokingly said, “Take down Microsoft,” and explained that many of my engineer friends—and I—genuinely prefer Google’s products over Microsoft’s suite. Do any of you feel that Google products are better than Microsoft’s?

What is Microsoft consulting like? What’s the pay/wlb compared to B4? I work in financial services and have had prior industry experience. Trying to gauge if a transition with an internal referral would be worth it. My current comp is right within the middle of the comp range (albeit no equity), and both current and future work is remote. I know tech has been a bit turbulent lately, does that also apply to MCS?

Anyone work on the Microsoft account at Dentsu? Want to know more about the relationship with the clients, what is something you would change if you could, and what is great about it. And would love multiple perspectives from different people working on different departments IE: Media Buying, Strategy, Analytics, etc

Would actively avoid Microsoft. Teams and Office both have just inept leaders. They don't understand the tech they're working around and by connection don't do process around it well. Company would be better off firing every 64 and above and starting over.
