Process
I had a one-on-one interview with a Microsoft representative at my university. I had applied through their online portal.
He wanted to know about me and which Microsoft products I was interested in.
I mentioned Microsoft Office Word. He then asked me, "Given a chance, what is the one thing you would change about the product, and why?"

- 4.0Good work-life balanceSoftware Development Engineer In Test (SDET) • Current EmployeeHyderābād, Telangana, IndiaMay 21, 2012Pros: Work-life balance. Good compensation. Management is good. Interaction between the team is very good. Regular team meetings and outings. Seniors are supportive.Cons: I don't find any major cons as such, but I think there is less communication and fewer meetings with other teams, like the office team and Windows team, etc.
- 5.0One of the best internship experiences out thereSoftware Development Engineer In Test (SDET) • Former EmployeeBellevue, Washington, United StatesAugust 21, 2012Pros: Microsoft throws a lot of money at its intern program. You get tons of free stuff, get to meet a lot of executives, and you get compensated very well for a summer. Everybody at Microsoft treats interns very well.Cons: Depending on which division you get placed into, the type of work you do is hit-or-miss. Xbox/IEB is particularly difficult to get into, so it pays if you apply really early (like in September or August). This is followed by the Windows Phone Division, which is also pretty popular. Your manager will play an important role in your internship. Most of them are great, but every once in a while you could get stuck with a bad one.
