Process
Applied through the campus career fair and had an on-campus technical interview. It consisted of one coding question and no behavioral questions. Average experience; the only negative part is that the recruiter was not very communicative.

Pros: You can't be in a better place in Europe if you are interested in Software Engineering. This place is full of energy and is bound to have great results!
Cons: Work time is flexible, which can be a blade with two edges. If you are bad at planning your time, this is a bad thing. If you are good at organizing yourself, this is a fantastic thing.

Intern at Garage
Software Engineering • Former Employee
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
May 9, 2016
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.
