Microsoft hiring hundreds, despite layoffs

A search of Microsoft's career database turns up 466 open jobs in Redmond. Most are software developer roles, but there are also open spots for product  managers, program managers, marketing managers, and user experience designers. Windows Mobile and gaming-related positions seem to dominate the list, along with Live services and non-product specific jobs.   Microsoft has cut thousands of employees this year. But like many corporations, Microsoft hasn't combined its layoffs with a hiring freeze, despite rumors sparked by a leaked memo last fall. The company's worldwide headcount is still above 80,000. In 2007, Microsoft grew its staff by 11,200. In that context, a few hundred open slots in Redmond alone isn't very surprising.       Full Story: http://www.thestandard.com/news/2009/03/30/microsoft-hiring-hundreds-despite-layoffs
