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.
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.
Keep up the great work!
I was being interviewed for a summer internship with this title. They flew me up to Washington for an in-person group interview after a screening interview at my college, which I got through by handing a resume to a recruiter at the career fair. This
Received a call from the manager, no response.
The interviews consisted of 2 phone screens and an onsite interview. The first phone screen was with the manager of the group and focused on my experiences and some technical questions, e.g., "How would you approach testing an elevator?" Hint: First
