New Reality Series: Be the Next Microsoft Employee 168
theodp writes "No, Steve Ballmer doesn't swap spit with contestants in a hot tub. Nor does he present a rose to each contestant he wishes to keep at the end of each episode. But the contestants in Microsoft's Be the Next Microsoft Employee web series, which is being billed as Top Chef for Geeks, do live together in a luxury waterfront home as they compete for the chance to interview for a job with the software giant. So, what's next from Microsoft? The Real Housewives of Medina?"

No, they get a job. The 'chance to interview' was made up by the submitter.

I think the point is to get into the reality show. Seems that this alone is good enough for some, to become "famous".
This would be most impressive if they were inside Microsoft competing to get out.

As long as I was around between core hours 10-4 and did my work, it was all good. It all depends on how flexible your manager is, like pretty much any other company. Some people in the company that I know get to go in around noon and leave at 8. They prefer it that way. Others left the office around 2 or 3 'cause they went in really early.
