The Role
Truly an incredible experience
You are treated as any other Full Time Employee and given the same responsibilities. I really teaches a vast skill pool
greatly. it is amazing how much support you do get and the capability to develop both personally and professionally.
Very! being in a corporate environment will always make your day busy. But at the same time it is how you utilise that time with not only your role but other stretch projects too. I took on various stretch projects during the year so my day was busy but always fun, thought provoking and creative
After initial training you are then developed to take on projects from smaller to bigger ones throughout the year
The work ethic you can take away from being at Microsoft is insane. Keeping up that drive and determination is what differentiates you from other non placement students
