The Role
The day to day tasks were diverse and amazing opportunities to grow and develop.
Colleagues were patient and very supportive.
Amazing guidance and support provided by the manager.
The daily tasks and projects were occupying most of the time, however there was also time
The level of responsibility was given was big and totally enjoyed it.
Amazing company to work for and develop new skills.
The Company
The atmosphere was mostly relaxed and most of the colleagues were engaging.
The HR team made sure we had a great onboarding and other events with all of our colleagues and this was a great way to blend in.
As placement interns we had access to almost all exams Microsoft provided which is a great advantage especially if you want to specialise in one of their products, for example Azure Could/ office etc.
Flexi Time
Working from home
Due to the very positive experience it is very probably I would recommend and look for a future career at Microsoft.
The Culture
Yes.
The cost of living were somewhere situated in the slightly above area, considering this was outside London.
The nightlife was alright.
The city had multiple options from sport point of view and especially to engage with different colleagues.
