The new employees are destined for the offices in Zurich, Bern and Geneva, Hinkel told the “Sonntagszeitung”. However, the company feels a shortage of skilled workers. Microsoft Switzerland has therefore decided to personally train the young people.

According to Hinkel, Microsoft is ready for a possible power outage. The company has been rated “systematically important” for data centers and the contingency plan also includes operation with generators.
