Pros

Microsoft has an incredible intern program. They have so many different intern coordinators, and there are always events to allow you to get to know other interns. You feel so integrated. The senior leadership teams, including the EVPs and CVPs, want to talk to the interns, and some got to know me by name! It really shows they care about the future of the company.

Cons

The team placement really determines what work you’re able to do, and you’re unfortunately unable to choose what areas/org you get to work in.

Advice to Management

Giving interns the opportunity to at least rank their org options before being placed on a team would be a great opportunity for interns to feel as if they have some sort of say in where they are placed.
