My amazing Microsoft Internship experience
My amazing Microsoft Internship experience
I get to work with intelligent and supportive teammates every day.
Amazing facilities and a gorgeous landscaped HQ.
Work/life balance is very good for most SWE Interns I know.
Free drinks.
They bring in good musicians to play over lunch at the main cafeteria.
Performance feedback is not only focused on individual contribution but also on how well you work with others. I've been told this really improves the company culture, especially on the main campus.
They make an honest effort to give interns projects that are interesting and within the scope of a summer.
Top-notch health insurance, even for interns.
The culture of different teams can vary. (I have heard good and bad from other interns.)
Microsoft always manages to stay in the news with the latest PR gaffe. (Honestly, more amusing than upsetting to most employees.)
Keep doing what you're doing to attract top university talent. Continue to create an open dialogue within the company.
