Microsoft scored top marks on almost all measuring points in the profile analysis. Also in the spring of 2011, Microsoft Development Center Copenhagen was awarded a prestigious fourth place on the list of preferred IT companies in Denmark by the globally recognized Universum Student Survey, which builds its index on responses from more than 6,700 Danish students.

Norway Development Center
Microsoft Development Center Norway drives the overall Microsoft enterprise search strategy.MDCN is the combination of the Microsoft Business Search team and the Norwegian IT company FAST that Microsoft acquired April 2008. We are now a part of the Microsoft Office Division.
AtMDCN you will work with a large and global team passionate about these challenges and opportunities. If you want to make a breakthrough in UX – we believe search has the power to do just that. Search can drive information experiences far outside the “search box” and become a unifying layer for a more dynamic and contextual UX. If you want to impact business outcomes – search has already proved to transform online business efficiency. Search is the link between a user and a product to buy, an article to read, an ad to explore or a friend to collaborate with. If you want to push the envelope for scalable enterprise software and cloud infrastructures – search is sitting on some of the biggest problems out there. 1000s of queries per second must be answered in milliseconds by carefully separating value from noise across billions of documents.
