The Role
loved it!
I was made to feel as part of the team from day 1.
I felt I could talk to my manager regarding any issues I had with work/life balance.
My manager held monthly 1:1 to ensure I was happy with my workload.
I was given responsibility to a certain extend with running a programme, but was made aware I could always contact my manager for advice and support.
Skills I have gained include time management, interpersonal skills, communication skills and networking skills.
The Company
I enjoyed going to the office everday
My role was outlined and I feel happy with what I have achieved!
I feel my manager has pushed me throughout my placement helping me improve my confidence and presentation skills.

The Culture
I Microsoft allowed interns to organise their own Christmas and summer parties. Among this various charity events took place within the intern community.
Average
Reading University is local therefore there is something always going on.
Microsoft employees get involved with various events.
