TSP - Stay away! There's nothing technical here!
Pros: - Gym at the office
- Nice canteen (but take into accounts almost 200€ a month for lunch because, guess what, employees have to pay for that)
Cons: Stay away from Inside Sales if you are a technical person, forget about coding, software, architectures, networking, science, ecc..."technical" here means "which button shall I press" or "which services are covered in this plan". Totally humiliating and frustrating.

TSPs are the less paid in the organization and the more knowledgeable, ridiculous.

70% of the people are waiting one year before leaving to not give the relocation bonus back because you have no options in other MS departments as they hire TSP with graduate levels. The 30% left are people who were not technical before and they have to thank God that they have been hired by some sort of miracle (aka low level and superficial interviews) and have now a job at Microsoft, perfect fit for the role. 

They say "it's still good to have Microsoft on your CV"..ABSOLUTELY WRONG! If you are going for a tech role people don't care if you have worked here but only about your skills and what can you do, and in Inside Sales as TSP you learn NOTHING and actually forget about the tech stuff you knew before joining. But if you want to stay in the sales world it's just fine.

Said that, the company is great, TSP role in Enterprise is great, and other departments and the CEO are super cool...it's just Inside Sales Dublin that is a terrible mistake they have been keeping carry on for more than 2 years now...what a waste of money.
