The Role
It's a great year with a great start of my future career.
Great support and help from everyone in Microsoft!
My manager was extremely helpful and what I liked the most is that I was valued as a full time employee. If you want to you can always fine a mentor which is a great help too!
You can always find something to do if you have some spare time in addition to your day-to-day job / activities.
Great amount of responsibilities!
