Experience highly dependent on your org/management, otherwise great benefits
Pros: Great benefits and support from the company as a whole
Cons: Your internship experience will be highly dependent on what team you get put on, which you essentially have no control over. Interning at Microsoft can be really fun (e.g. cool events, swag, networking opportunities). However, it can also be absolutely horrible (e.g. very old tech, lacking mentorship, unsupportive management). Again, the experience will vary from org to org. Some of this can be attributed to lack of diversity. For example, if an org is 80-90% a specific race/culture, it's more likely you'll be met with huge cultural and generational differences and individuals/managers who perpetuate bias and stereotypes.
