Why work for Microsoft Office Live?

Why Office Live?

Thank you for considering an opportunity within Office Live at Microsoft. Why would you want to work within Office Live? This site is designed to give you information so you can decide if Office Live is right for you.

What is it like to be part of a team in Office Live?

Imagine being part of a small, dynamic startup team offering a challenging environment with lots of room to grow. As an example, our test team has grown from 3 to 20 full time SDETs in two years. We are hard-working but careful to maintain work-life balance and have strong experienced managers.

What are Microsoft leaders saying about us?

At Tech-Ed, Ray Ozzie said,”…I believe we're about to witness and participate in, and drive another major era of technology disruption, one that has implications for all of us here, and all of our customers. The new era that we're approaching will be something I refer to as the services disruption, an era in which Internet-based services will fundamentally transform the way that we design, deploy, manage and use enterprise infrastructure and business solutions.” He goes on to describe this transformation as similar to the PC revolution.

At MGX, Steve Ballmer said “…Windows Live, search, MSN, my favorite product this year is actually Office Live. Office Live is our number one opportunity long-term. Remember, I'm talking about long-term growth, not just next year, but if we don't get started, we'll never get there. Office Live is our best opportunity to sell more Office licenses than everybody, and to really reach out to small businesses.”



We currently have two service offerings,
Microsoft Office Live Workspace and Microsoft Office Live Small Business.

Office Live Workspace is the easy-to-use online companion to Office, which enables information workers to share and collaborate anywhere. We are a hosted service built on SharePoint technologies and integrate with both Office and Windows Live. We are built for tens of millions of customers, including your family and friends. We want to transform the way personal and team productivity software, document creation, management and sharing services are delivered to every information worker on this planet, on desktop and mobile platforms. This is a growing team with a large scope and lots of opportunity to learn and innovate. We’re focused on usability and design to thrill customers with regular releases of valuable features leveraging Web 2.0 principles.

Microsoft Office Live Small Business services are designed to provide online services to get their small business online and utilize the portfolio of sales and marketing services we provide to promote their business. Since February 2006, Microsoft Office Live has acquired over 500,000 customers worldwide, making it one of the fastest-growing small business services in the world.
