The internship has been a fantastic experience overall. I have found the experience of working to be a great motivating factor. It's been great to be able to contribute to some of the enormous projects that Microsoft undertake. As a member of the team I h...
A placement year at Microsoft throws you in at the deep end and while I could've done with a set of armbands at the start, I found my feet and had a wonderful year. The large Early in Career cohort at Microsoft made the experience all more worthwhile!
The insight was very enjoyable as I got to see the work at the company and even join in some of the tasks that they did over there. Furthermore, it was nice to meet the employees and talk to them further about what they are precisely involved in with the ...
My placement year at Microsoft was incredible, and I would highly recommend for students who are passionate for technology to apply! I learnt so much about about my role in marketing, the company and the industry, and I can definitely say I have vastly de...
I do not think my placement was necessarily representative of most, but if opportunities are available in future to be a Software Engineer in Microsoft CSE I would suggest taking them.
I thoroughly enjoyed my placement year at Microsoft, and I would say that I enjoyed it a lot more than expected. I went to work with the goal of gaining experience and developing my skills, however I actually became very involved and passionate about the ...
The initial shock of entering such a large organisation and adapting to the culture took some time to get over but after the initial induction stage I thoroughly enjoyed the experience from both a professional and personal perspective> I was given the opp...
I loved my work placement because of the flexibility of the program to make your placement year your own. Do not get me wrong their were responsibilities with the job title, however you could mould those what those activities looked like with your manager...
10/10, at Microsoft you are given so many opportunities to get so much out of your year. This ranges from large stakeholder management responsibilities in your role, networking opportunities with friendly experienced professionals to philanthropic events ...
Working at Microsoft for the year was amazing! Not only did I learn lots of practical skills, I also learnt lots about myself. Microsoft creates a great learning environment where it's okay to fail which is a refreshing change from the strict rules at uni...
My placement was fairly challenging in the sense that I consistently felt confused on my place in the business. As I did not have a core team around me, I felt like I did not have anyone to mentor my development or daily workload. As a result, I felt like...
Better than I could have ever possibly imagined
Interesting, got insight into different parts of the business, workload manageable, environment can be turbulent/uncertain.
An insightful and fun filled year. I enjoyed every aspect of the role I was in and was able to meet some incredible people, attend amazing events, and most importantly network with companies I never thought I'd get a chance to encounter. Microsoft have a ...
I loved every moment of it. Throughout the Internship I was encouraged to really push myself and as a result, I can walk away from my internship knowing I have immeasurable growth and I've had the best year! I am so pleased to of had given the opportunity...
It was an unforgettable experience and I believe Microsoft have now set me up for a successful career for life. I was challenged throughout the year, at times being very stressed, but without these struggles I wouldn't have made it where I am today. After...
It was everything I wanted it to be and more!
I really enjoyed my internship! It was a great opportunity to explore the Tech sector for what is what and make great connections along the way. The learning culture was great - at no point did I feel like I was asking a stupid question and was always enc...
Working at Microsoft was a very positive experience. Being immersed in an environment that not only stimulates you but challenges you on a daily basis was key to make the whole placement even better. A true highlight of working there was the culture, whic...
Microsoft offers a very valuable and enjoyable placement scheme. There was a lot of opportunity for training and developing yourself outside of your role through 101 teams and other courses available. There was a great intern community and the early in ca...
