Intern - Software Engineer Interview Experience - Poland

May 23, 2020

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The first round consisted of a very easy test on Codility (3 tasks, 15-20 minutes were sufficient to solve them) and a quick, non-technical interview.

Afterward, I received a negative response very quickly, with no option to ask for detailed feedback due to Microsoft's policy.

Good for a big company

Intern - Software Engineer • Former Employee

Redmond, Washington, United States

Pros: Large amount of resources for interns to learn, including a lecture series. In addition, there were speaking and leadership opportunities available. Free housing or a $7000 stipend. Lots of fun events organized through the "summer camp" program and events for specific divisions of the company.

Cons: Microsoft is a huge company. This fundamentally changes the way that people work and interact, as there is less individual accommodation and conformity is valued.
