The Role
Hard Work....But great fun!!
Often told i was a valuable member of the team! :)
Managment are very useful and very approachable
There was never a spare hour of the day....if there was i was assigned work to do in another area
I took a role within a team...as if i was a full time employee.
The area i worked in did not really relate to my degree...however good understanding of computer system helped me adapt very quickly
The Company
Very professional...with a good balance of banter
Very organised ...MS have a whole department dedicated to IP's and Grads. Its is very important to MS, so they spend alot of time and effort in making sure you are happy.
Any training course or area i wanted to develop there was a person i could talk to. MS spend alot of time and money investing back into their workforce.
