Business Consulting and Project Management Review

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 which have such a large impact; such as inspiring young people into tech.

Completely. If you make a positive impact it is made known, and you are always so valued for your ability and bravery of succeeding (or simply being) in situations that even those later in their careers may find tricky to over come.

Due to the open culture at Microsoft, a culture you may expect of a modern technology magnate, you are given as much support and guidance as you need. This comes in on the job training or a wide variety of training courses on offer. Everyone is willing to help you succeed and see you do well as an early in career member. It is a great place to network and develop more than just your business area, as so many seasoned professionals are happy to share what they've learned; such as in structured mentoring sessions.

My role, like all roles hired across the internship was demanding in nature, providing me with a wide range of scenarios to test myself in; much more than I imagined before I started.

At Microsoft you are hired to add value to your team and constantly tested to take on more; if that is what you wish. You are given the perfect environment to get as much responsibility out of your year as you want; ranging from leading the projects in your business team to leading stretch project teams.

They key developed skill from being at Microsoft, my confidence, is something I was able to build on exponentially through the year due to the guidance, responsibility and pride of representing a company like Microsoft; even. You return to uni with a lot more confidence to tackle your studies.

Relaxing and friendly- people are always kind and friendly and the feel is backed by various coffee shops, an indoor swing area, super large bean bag area and various events which go on throughout the year.

Very well organised. Structure provided in your role and enforced further by the great HR team who are always around to help and provide guidance if needed.

Massively- Consistent personal development training with mentors and managers, 24/7 access to online trainings, full access to workshops on a huge range of topics, and HR lead personal development days throughout the yeat

Apply- it is a very exciting company to work for and an exciting time to be involved with Microsoft; highlighted by the fact everyone from my cohort year have applied for the graduate scheme.

A great balance between work and play within the intern community; ranging from socials to organised parties or nights out together; a bit like uni. Everyone is motivated to do well and then enjoy it together on weekends and evening.

Not that cheap as it is close to London but your wage makes sure you do not go without.

Decent clubs and bars (all the types you can want) and only a half an hour train away from London.

Loads of social clubs and societies, the football team always goes down a hit every year with interns as it involves an international tournament against all the other European subsidiaries; with the location changing every year.
