• Simplicity. We don't overcomplicate. Less is more, always.
• Safety and Security. The highest standards of security, safety, and responsibility are non-negotiable across all our business areas.
• Evaluation. We pay close attention to signals and aren't afraid to change course when data and our experience tells us to. We are also careful with our metrics, focusing on delivering long-term sustainable value (rather than short-term KPIs).
• Kindness. Kindness is at the heart of our org and how we conduct ourselves. We care for, and support and respect one another, beginning again and learning every day.

Beyond the specifics of this role, you will be, first and foremost, part of Microsoft's mission to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more.
