Redmond, Washington, United States
October 23, 2025
Pros: Work-life balance is great, and the pay ($51/hr) was great. There were lots of intern events, free drinks, 40 cafeterias on campus, and many great benefits: $400 for wellness, $10,000 post-tax for housing (or choose corporate housing), and PTO.
Cons: New grad pay isn't the highest compared to other big tech companies. Return offers take a long time to come.
