Comment Internship @ MS (Score 1) 273
I was (and in fact I am) summer intern at Microsoft and i simply love couple of comments on MS internship that happened to be here. I wonder if any of commenting people have ever seen MS from inside. Anyway.
It's great. Nobody forces you to do something against your will - you are a member of your team like any other person. You shape the product just like anyone else (you can even say "no" about something but just like in life - you have to convince others that you're right or that your idea is worth consideration). People are really pleasant, it's nice to work in this environment. People eager to answer your questions and you gain knowledge really fast.
There are no problems with going to bathroom ;) or having the day off (although I took none, it's just a matter of communication with your manager). If you're tired, you can have some fun playing pool or whatever you find around the corner.
You don't work in a box and you don't work on junk-PCs, you're not a slave. There are lots of informal activities, tech talks and stuff. And they pay pretty well (but that's my point of view - I'm from Eastern Europe so for you, spoiled kids, it can be not enough ;]).
