Service Sales Excellence Manager Review

I have love my placement at Microsoft! it has been the best opportunity and experience so far in my life.

I feel that from day one I have been a valued employee at Microsoft at no point have I felt like an intern. The amount of responsibilities and opportunities you receive at this place is exceptional. My team has been so welcoming and I have always felt like a valuable and equal member of my team

The level of support and guidance is second to none. I have always been made to feel like I can ask any question no matter how trivial. My Manger has been a hero he has given me so much advise and support. He has guided me and help me achieve everything I have aimed for this year. I couldn't have asked for better support.

Perfect balance of role specific work and time to work on my own personal development and really important side projects. there hasn't been a lot of quiet time but I have thrived off this.

A lot of responsibility, at time I was doing work that was being reported up to the GM of Microsoft and also to America at Corp.

Learnt so many life skills and equally as importantly skills for work which I feel can't be taught in education.

Vibrant! Always things going on, from demos of the latest and greatest Xbox Games or Microsoft Hardware to bringing in of our partners and sponsors, my personal favourite was the Lotus F1 Team. In terms of around the desk and work area everyone is very friendly and helpful. Again the office is nevr quiet and there is always something exciting being discussed or problems being overcome.

Very well! From day one the team built a great community for the 120+ interns it has felt like a big family. This is an amazing feat as we span the country from Edinburgh to Reading. There has been a lot of well thoughtout side projects and "101 Teams" (small intern groups) to get involved in. All of which have help improve the business and deliver real benefit to the company.

Loads of personal investment. Received monthly training, and quarterly product training. Pitch perfect (how best to sell the Microsoft Stack) has been my personal favourite. I have even been trained in how to sell the Microsoft Products in stores and been given 2 weeks experience on the shop floor perfecting this.

Very appealing! I am 100% going to apply back!

Very good social scene. It was like being a student (going out) again at weekends. During the week we always meet up to playing weekly 5 a-side games and Touch Rugby (regional runners up). Every day at work we meet up at lunch or in the gym after work. Always someone to talk to and get along with.

Cheap student housing (£360 a month).. Socialising, night out wernt to expensive, taxi were cheap and drinks weren't too pricy/

Decent. could have done with a bigger club or two. Although lots of good bars.

Loads of social teams from Sky Diving to football to Kite Surfing. Amazing. Loads of charity events too and a subsidised social calendar from Ascot to comedians at discounted rates.
