Pros

Round the clock facilities for almost anything you require. You will not be able to adjust to the work environments of other companies after enjoying the facilities here. All employees are very helpful and cheerful. As an intern you will not be discriminated or left alone, you have opportunities to go out and meet other teams in the department and get along with your team during team outings, lunches and games throughout the week.

Cons

Some teams have rigorous meetings and scrums 3 times a week with needing a new solution every meeting, but not necessarily. If you can get used to a similar routine way of working in the IT industry then this is the best place. If you are interested in more of interactive work any IT company is not recommended for that case.

Pros

I get to work with intelligent and supportive teammates every day. Amazing facilities/gorgeous landscaped HQ. Work/life balance is very good for most SWE Interns I know. Free drinks They bring in good musicians to play over lunch at the main cafeteria. Performance feedback is not only focused on individual contribution, but also how well you work with others. I've been told this really improves the company culture, especially on the main campus. They make an honest effort to give interns projects that are interesting and within the scope of a summer. Top notch health insurance, even for interns.

Cons

The culture of different teams can vary (I have heard good and bad from other interns.) Microsoft always manages to stay in the news with the latest PR gaffe (honestly more amusing than upsetting to most employees.)

Pros

-Shuttle system all over WA to and from campus made life great. -Yearly Intern Signature Event + free gift -You will be in the company of talented and seasoned engineers.

Cons

Most of Microsoft's products are strongly bound to legacy code, which makes them trepidacious about original ideas. I was supposed to make an extension to some auxiliary production software--it took six weeks (halfway through my internship) before I was allowed to write a line of code! Take this with a grain of salt. At Microsoft, the most important thing is what team you're on. I was not very excited about my particular team's work.
