The Role
The Company
The atmosphere in my office in some respects was quite quiet. However other interns and myself on the floor organised events to get to know everyone better.
Microsoft invested a lot of time in my personal development which has provided me with a lot confidence for the future.

There are so many opportunites to get involved in outside activities
