Pros: Great place to intern. They throw a company party for interns and hire about 70% of interns for full-time positions, which is promising.
Cons: Not sure yet, since I am due to start in summer 2016. I will write an updated review when I have more info.

Intern at Garage
Software Engineering • Former Employee
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Pros: It was an awesome experience. You get full ownership of a project, which is amazing to have as an intern.
A lot of the projects received a lot of attention throughout Microsoft.
The management is really good; everyone is willing to help.
Cons: At the Garage, you won't be given full exposure as to what it's like to be a Software Engineer at Microsoft, because it's an experience of its own. With that said, you'll learn some valuable skills and gain amazing experience, and you can be given another internship or full-time interview.
The pay in the States is way better, but management is working on it.
