Great 6-Month Internship

Pros: Great atmosphere.
Great learning environment.
Great flexibility in terms of working hours.
Great perks.
Having Microsoft on his resume is truly a great advantage.
Cons: Microsoft has tools and software to do pretty much everything.
In the end, it can be annoying to use Microsoft products constantly (very little use of open source tools).

Internship is good
Software Development Engineer Intern • Former Employee
Hyderābād, Telangana, India
April 23, 2017
Pros: Free lunch for interns.
Full two-month stay.
Vast campus with various outdoor games.
Cons: Recruits are mostly toppers of the institute.
Managers show bias.
Managers try to save FTE by giving their work to interns and rate interns however they like.
Conversion interviews involve deep dives into concepts like OS and DBMS, and they reject us.
