Microsoft Software Design Engineer In Test II reviews

I found Microsoft to be a safe, supportive place to work. Everyone knows their job and sticks to it. People shouldn't take this for granted because in other places, sometimes even your job description and/or expectations is ambiguous. The benefits are great especially free health care. I always felt like my managers and peers had my best interest and my career advancement in mind right up alongside the team's success. I believe that MS is a company of integrity, one that support great causes and supports the employee as far as possible. There is always someone to learn from or some piece of technology to learn about right there in house. So learning and mentorship opportunities are both plentiful.

Pros: As an intern: Great benefits (Geared towards college students, which basically means free stuff like mini fridges, shirts, zunes, etc). As far as DevDiv is concerned (Developer Division), I was very happy with how my teamed worked, and treated interns. Did their best to help you learn, such as even sending interns to conferences (which I was quite surprised about). If I had to do it again, I would defiantly accept the offer. What was really awesome was working on a project that would actually get released to millions of users, which is something that can't usually be said for most places. The random events that they host for interns is the best part. Make sure to go to as many as you can.
