Program Manager Review

I enjoyed the entire experience massively.

More than simply "An Intern", interns at Microsoft do real work, in real roles and make real impact in their teams and throughout the company. There was never any question from Day 1 that interns are valued as part of the teams that they have joined.

The support given throughout the year has been superb. Throughout the year I have been able to ask and receive advice and guidance from a massive network of very talented and inspiring people. I have had great support not only for my day to day role but also looking forward to returning to university and my career after.

I was always busy with my role at Microsoft, not only this but with a range of stretch projects available and interesting teams to join, I've been given the opportunity to manage my own work load and had the option to manage my own workload.

Following on from previous answers I was given a massive amount of responsibility in my role. Relied on, valued and listened to as a core member of the team.

The range of skills that I have developed throughout the year will assist me throughout my final year in University, More than this, however, a massive number of the soft skills I have had the opportunity to develop will continue to help me throughout the rest of my career.

Working in one of the Microsoft Games Studios meant that I had an amazing office, with great facilities, a brilliant environment and most importantly absolutely amazing people.

The job that was done to on-board, welcome and support 100+ interns, in various roles throughout Microsoft UK was excellent, and a testament to the work put in by the University Staffing Team.

With the opportunity and resources there to avail of free Microsoft certified exams I had the chance to gain a range of certifications that would cost a lot to obtain in any other circumstance. The fact that I didn't is more of a reflection on me than the opportunities available at Microsoft.

While "Got a Job With Them!" (as the 10 is marked) is something that I'm not yet able to say, I am however massively interested in returning to work with the company.

We had a tight-knit intern community that was awesome to be a part of. Great social scene.

Living in the heart of London is never going to be a cheap experience, however due to the above mentioned intern community we were never short of opportunities to socialize at a lower cost.

London nightlife is absolutely superb.

There is a range of opportunities to get involved in outside of work. The size of the pool of activities outside of work does however vary between the different campuses that you work in.
