Experience highly dependent on your org/management; otherwise, great benefits
Great benefits and support from the company as a whole.
Your internship experience will be highly dependent on what team you get put on, which you essentially have no control over.
Interning at Microsoft can be really fun (e.g., cool events, swag, networking opportunities). However, it can also be absolutely horrible (e.g., very old tech, lacking mentorship, unsupportive management).
Again, the experience will vary from org to org. Some of this can be attributed to a lack of diversity. For example, if an org is 80-90% a specific race/culture, it's more likely you'll be met with huge cultural and generational differences and individuals/managers who perpetuate bias and stereotypes.
Assign better mentors to interns, or provide more training to potential mentors.
Implement more structured intern onboarding per org.

It was great! I was asked a hard LeetCode question, though. It was challenging, but I was able to get through some of it. I would suggest looking at common LeetCode questions before going to that interview.
